Publisher's Summary

In the tradition of The Man from Snowy River comes a gripping and courageous sequel to A Waltz for Matilda

The year is 1919. Thirty years have passed since the man from Snowy River made his famous ride. But World War I still casts its shadow across a valley in the heart of Australia, particularly for orphaned 16-year-old Flinty McAlpine, who lost a brother when the Snowy River men marched away to war. 

Why has the man Flinty loves returned from the war so changed and distant? Why has her brother Andy "gone with cattle", leaving Flinty in charge of their younger brother and sister and with the threat of eviction from the farm she loves so dearly? A brumby muster held under the watchful eye of the legendary Clancy of the Overflow offers hope. Now Flinty must ride to save her farm, her family, and the valley she loves. 

Set among the landscapes of the great poems of Australia, this book is a love song to the Snowy Mountains and a tribute to Australia's poets who immortalised so much of our land. 

The Girl from Snowy River combines passion, heartbreak, history, and an enduring love and rich understanding of Australia.

top notch story

I hate writing reviews, coz I'm not an airs n graces gal, and the required characters won't let me just say FANbloodyTastic.
My judgement of any book is the level of teariness and enticement......
I have learned that JF will not be hurried into a story, even for my benefit, so I have learned to wait... NO.... I haven't.
I multitask to get through the slowwww bits. Thank the lord for Audible, coz if I was actually reading I'd have fallen asleep a dozen times before turning a page and likely never savoured the juicy bits.
Safe to say, I've teared up many times and had it playing from dawn to midnight.....THATS the guts of a good book.
Now, I'm off to Matilda #3
Happy reading everyone!!!

Love for the mountains

Whether I am listening while driving or snuggled up in my bed reading I am transported back in time and I am Sitting amongst the clouds on the same rock, viewing my love of a farm from high up in the mountains.
It’s where I belong and someday I will be there. And that’s where I will stay.

Thank you for such a fantastic book
