"I really really really enjoy this book. The females are incredibly strong women, and the story is just transportive (yes, I just made that up). It draws you in and takes you through a lifetime and legacy."

" 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. "
— Stephanie, 11/27/2013" 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. "

— Darrin, 7/16/2013" Listened to this book; didn't enjoy it as much as Outback Station, but it was still good. Interesting epic about Australia. "
— Linda, 6/25/2013" 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. "
— Dave, 6/17/2013" Didn't think I'd like it and have read twice in the last 3 months. "
— Paul, 10/26/2012" 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! "
— Terrieb99, 10/12/2012" 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. "
