I enjoyed this book, although it was quite long. The book goes between "current day" (1998) Brisbane and WW1 Brisbane/ France which was interesting to read about. It was a very emotional and heartbreaking book at times reading the war stories, and I think the present day ending let it down. I think I would actually have rathered that Callie found the horseshoe herself and Michael wasn't in the book. The family tree realisation and wedding lost the book a star for me at the end.

Oikeastaan luin kirjan tee-tree passage, mutta sitä ei kone tunne. mutta se oli ihan luettava. kertoi monen sukupolven naisten tarinan pienellä paikkakunnalla australiassa. hiukan masentavaa aika-ajoin, mutta menetteli unilukemisena Sainin tykönä ollessa.
