Enjoyable
Can “mature” people find love in their late middle years.
It isn’t often Ee read a love story story between two older people. Frank’s and Maggie’s journey into love after both of them have lost mates they had loved. Set in Australia where Frank manages a cattle station in the outback, while Maggie, a city girl living in Darwin writes a piece on outstation, she meets Frank , and thouggh both are cautious they cannot ignore their attraction. Family members, tragedy and challenges make this Australian novel, not only interesting but insightful into cattle stations in Australia.
EXCELLENT
