Billabong's Daughter
( July 3, 2020)
Norah, Jim and Wally have to grow up, but that is always the order of things. Growing up brings its own attractions, to say nothing of its own romances.
One of the best books in the Billabong series, Billabong's Daughter delves a lot more into the emotions of Jim, Norah and Wally than previous books, using Wally's experience in Queensland and his bonding with Norah as examples.
Very much of its time in its attitude to issues of gender, race, and WW1, but a fabulous Australian book for all that.
