"Mom: Fascinated by all the sheep stuff. The tail docking and mulcing was a little gross the first time I read it, but interesting all the same. Great characters and lots of details. Definitely continuing with the series. " — Karla (5 out of 5 stars)

" Another really good read, looking forward to the next three in the series. "
" I hardly remember what it was about. Didn't make much of an impression. "
" Not! your typical historical romance novel. For one, it has a very hard and true fact about that time period. "
" If you like stories about early Australia you will enjoy this book "
" Listened to this book; didn't enjoy it as much as Outback Station, but it was still good. Interesting epic about Australia. "
" I reread this first of a series after quite a few years. I don't know that I'll continue to read the rest of the series but it was well written. After awhile though the story lines were very similar. "
" Really enjoyed this book and learning a little about the history of Australia. It is a three part book with sort of three separate stories as the characters age. My favorite was the first part! "
" One of my favorite books ever. For what it is worth, it is my Dad's favorite too. "
" I will give a review of this book when others in the "sweeping Saga group" have read..too many spoilers I would be given away..& the reason I didnt give it a 5 star. "
" Excellent. I now really want to read more about this time period in Australia's history. The story focuses on three different generations of an Outback sheep raising family. I will look for more books by this author or on this subject. "
" Patrick, the son of a female convict, marries the aborigine Mayrah. Together they begin an enormous ranch in the Outback. "
" Excellent in every sense of the word. Fletcher has nailed the things that make people tick regardless of time or setting. I didn't want it to end. "
