Book Summary

Can the grandchildren of Kitty McKenzie survive the horrors of war?

1914, Australia. As war is declared, the idyllic world of Blue Water Station is torn apart when Oliver, the eldest grandson and heir, shares his desire to enlist in the army. His enthusiasm ignites his brother, cousins and friends to do the same, but upsets his sister, Tilly.
After a tragic family incident, Tilly is left to run the cattle station and take care of the older folk. A chance meeting with a sophisticated Lieutenant opens up a friendship through letters, but it’s a rogue stockman who attracts her attention with dire consequences. With the men at war, and her heart pulled in two directions, Tilly must grow up quickly and face the consequences of her rash decisions. Will She find her own happiness?
Surviving a baptism of battle fire in Gallipoli, Turkey, Oliver and the men are sent to France and feel the brutal force of the Western Front. The only glimmer of light for Oliver is his relationship with Jessica, an army nurse. But as the terrors of war impact him, he feels the heavy guilt of encouraging the others to follow him into combat. Will he, and they, ever make it home to Blue Water.

Testimonials

What a fabulous book. I only downloaded this yesterday and read it into the early hours. Just couldn't put it down.

The whole book encapsulates the amazing atmosphere of WW1, the depictions of the battle and of the men at war. And then in contrast it tells the story of those who were left at home to worry and continue with their lives, while never knowing if their loved ones were ever coming home.
