Matilda's Run
1947. The war may be over, but will life ever be the same?
Matilda Bryce doesn’t think so. After all, she was never meant to be running her father’s mountain cattle property. But with all three of her brothers lost to the war, she is determined to leave her life of luxury and do their memory proud.
Every person she meets carries scars from the past. From Jem, who cannot face the thought of returning home, to Hugh, who wants nothing more than to finally escape his father’s shadow.
When Mattie suddenly finds herself heiress to her Great Aunt’s estate, she hatches a plan; to help those affected by the war overcome their wounds and give them a new place in the world. With a peaceful life in the mountains and a blossoming romance to keep her occupied, Mattie is finally content.
But then a mysterious man named George turns up at the estate. He will not speak, and nobody knows who he was before the war. Does time really heal all wounds, or are there some memories that are just too painful to bear...

I really loved this book. I’d had my eye on it for a while ever since seeing the gorgeous cover. I was drawn in from the very first page and It was full of so many likeable characters, all with their own stories. Although it was sad and touched on the tragedies and impact of war, it was also romantic, uplifting and adventurous! All set in the magnificent landscapes of the Australian bushland. I highly recommend this beautiful story.

Matilda's run
A story with the aftermath horrors,of war on men and women. A beautiful peace of Australia, and the people who love the high country, it's in their blood. Love and peace to those who have their minds ravaged by war
