“Just not sure if I\u2019m enjoying this book so much because I know you, or because I know it\u2019s rooted in real people, or because it\u2019s been a long time since I read a good book, but whatever it is, WOW! You\u2019ve had me in tears already and I\u2019m only on page 122. Can I order a copy for my sister please?”<\/em>
– Jenny Kitson, Collaroy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What a spectacular book ~ I enjoyed it from beginning to end! I realized that it must not have been easy to write: when doing research, you start in the present, and gradually work backwards, but in writing your wonderful book, you started from long ago, and then wrote forwards! I learned so much about all kinds of things (you must have done HEAPs of research!), and made it into a very compelling and interesting story ~ and all the more powerful\u00a0because it is based on real people, all of them so personally important to YOU. You brought them so colourfully to life, with great imaginative powers, and fleshed out the culture and times in which they lived so effectively.<\/em>“
– Jill Stafiej, Canada<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book was easy to read and you brought the characters alive to me. There must be a lot of stories to be told about our past ancestors but not a lot get written down, so it was interesting to read of yours.<\/em>

“I LOVE the short chapters – they are like essays in themselves, but left open at the end to keep you reading!! And I am AMAZED at the attention to DETAIL!! You must have had to do a HUGE amount or research to get all those details correct. I find that if a book doesn\u2019t get that right, it lacks credibility and I quickly lose interest, and consider it \u201camateurish\u201d!!\u00a0 But NOT yours!! Really amazing work!!”<\/em>
– John Swan, Frenchs Forest<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Going home tomorrow \u2013 yea! Just wanted to let you know how very much I am enjoying your wonderful book! Can\u2019t wait to get home tomorrow and indulge myself by reading it without being continually interrupted!”<\/em>
