A little disappointing
Would you try another book written by Deborah Challinor or narrated by Helen Duff?
The narration, the historical facts and most of the story
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Sparked interest to do some research with a view to writing
Which scene did you most enjoy?
We are given a real feel for Australia during this period. It is all brought to life through the story and characters' actions
Could you see The Silk Thief being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
the narration was spot on, couldn't fault her,
Any additional comments?
This was the third book about these characters and I was left at the end slightly disappointed as there were loose ends regarding some of the story, not sure if this is because we are waiting for another book in this series
