A Room Made of Leaves | Kate Grenville

Pickpick

Elizabeth, Mrs John Macarthur, travels from her home on the Devon/Cornwall border to Sydney, Australia, in 1790, one of the first soldiers‘ wives to do so. This is the story of a strong, canny woman finding a way to make her own space, in a world that offers her limited choices and in a marriage not of love, but of grudging appreciation.

rockpools A fictionalised memoir, based on the letters of the real Elizabeth Macarthur, I enjoyed this a lot and could happily have spent more time discovering her new world.

Thanks to #Netgalley for the ARC - this book came out in the UK last week.
Another tick on my #bookspinbingo (but still no bingo) and one for #NetGalleyReadathon Also #BBRC #GrowUp #Inspiredbyatruestoryorrealperson
