Review
(I would give this three-and-a-half stars if I could.)
This was a good read during two flights surrounded by children exhausted from their ski vacations, or hyper because they were about to go skiing. (I like in a ski resort.) It didn't require serious concentration, but was distracting enough that I did not harm someone else's child.
Is it serious literature? No. Were most of the characters well crafted to the point that I could care about them? Generally, yes. I enjoy Australia and stories about the early part of the previous century, and believe Ms. McCullough did a good job of depicting both. She did a good job of shading each of the four sister's personas, and never had trouble keeping up with which was which.
Recommended if you're not looking for something really challenging, and prefer "G-rate" stories.
