Reading - Sept hols, 2026

Wonderful story - so sad that they did not bring home the Australian or British horses from WW1. I did not enjoy the Aussie-slang although it was an accurate depiction of the way ordinary farm boys would have spoken at the time.

This one was good, although a tad boring as one who knows the play well. Jackie French uses the lingo from the play, the words Juliet uses, adding her thoughts as a wilful young girl as well. I enjoyed most the contextual notes at the end of the novel. She did depict Juliet as a woman ahead of her time, and ultimately successful in her striving for independence.

Loving this one - am just at the start - Chapter 2, as at 031026.
