The Life and Loves of Lena Gaunt | 
pickWow, a blind secret Santa swap and I picked a good 'un! This tells a fictional biography of an Australian woman in the twentieth century who has a bohemian life, searching for belonging and warmth.
It was so interesting to read some Australian history of Sydney and also the war years.
Plenty of detail and gorgeous natural description. Finished it just as I'm off to bed. New book incoming!
