Amanda’s Review:
I’ve read several of Carol’s books now and I love the way she creates full characters and lives and stories from the details she has unearthed from her own ancestry. It really gives you a sense of what life might have been like in the early days of Australia for these people.
I was glad to hear that Carol’s next novel, Truly Free, is a follow on from Tangled Secrets, because while I really enjoyed the read and kept wondering what would happen left, some things were left unresolved. I am looking forward to reading the rest of this story when Truly Free is released in June this year.
If you love to read about the pioneering days of Australia’s history, you’ll love Tangled Secrets.
I love this series by Carol Preston. Can’t wait to read Truly Free. 🙂 xx
Yes Michelle, I’m looking forward to it too. 🙂
