Set in 1856 and 1857 in Australia and China this is the story about two young females , coming from two extremely different backgrounds and countries , both hoping that Australia will give them opportunities for a new start , each trying to begin independent lives .
This was a story that really pulls at the heartstrings , my heart especially went out to Cat who lived in China , Cat was fierce and strong when those around her would have preferred her to be more meek and obliging , she had an enviable amount of courage while facing great danger and she made a terrific character , I was rooting for her all the way !
Violet was another strong character more world smart then Cat perhaps , equally as brave , coming from England to start over , these two young women meeting each other forming a support and bond that would be the making of them both !
This was an engrossing historical fictional story , it was very interesting reading about the cultural differences of these characters , the relationships between the two women and those around them and the sexism that was present at that time . This is a book to add to your TBR shelf .
I received this book in exchange for a review .
