Welcome to Litsy!

Between a Pick and a So-So, but closer to the Pick. This book does have some McCarthy vibes, but is easier to handle. To me it was a bit too emotional, especially at first. But we get a good picture of the lives of people in the Austrialian Outback during the Gold Rush. And Swiggs tells us, how important it is, to have people around you you can trust.

This was a really great Western adventure.
When Paddy and Toby's parents are murdered by Bush rangers they lose everything, parents, their home and their business of the homestead they all ran.
When a conman steals their farm away from them through trickery they decide to have a go out on the gold fields trying to make a living prospecting but Toby burns with revenge against those who wronged them.
Don't usually read this genre but it's brill.

A tale of two young brothers forced to fend for themselves and grow up quickly after the brutal murder of their parents. The opening scenes are harsh but brilliant, and the depiction of the Australian outback is good, but the story gets a little sluggish and predictable in places. The best later scenes are the ones drawing on the real-life Eureka Rebellion, where the book picks up the pace again. Overall I enjoyed it, but it could be better

I‘ve been really enjoying this book, but was confused over the timeline. I‘ve just seen why. The book opens (top frame) a few weeks before the theft referred to on the bottom frame. No wonder I‘m confused, the opening should be 1852!! 😯

My current read (an ARC from #ReadersFirst that I got to a bit late!) is about two brothers making their way in mid 19th century Australia after the brutal murder of their parents. It‘s a little predictable in storyline but the writing is very good, and the characters well drawn; I‘m enjoying it.
