Sorry, haven't read this one but know it is such a classic and deserves to be read - unfortunately I have got too many "to be read" books right now!

Release at bookcrossing meetup - Sydney on 13.4.04.

New to Australia, this book came recommended. Certainly sounds interesting!

I was very impressed with this, Miles Franklin's first book. I enjoyed it because (1) the author is Australian and writes about places in Australia I now know about, and (2) because her descriptions are such that I feel I have a good understanding of what her Australia was like in the late 1800s. Not my regular type of read but a highly recommended one.

Released on Saturday, November 06, 2004 at about 6:00:00 PM BX time (GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada) at On a bench across from Kazbah in Balmain, New South Wales Australia.

RELEASE NOTES:

I have only skimmed through this book before returning it to The Salvos in Noble Park. I had picked it up because it was such a well known title but It wasn't my cup of tea and I have so many books that I still have to read and move on. I think that this tracking of books is a wonderful idea. I found a note in this book that indicated that the novel may have been in Dromana, Victoria at some stage.
