Windflowers

It's rare that I read a book I simply cannot put down. For someone who is not familiar with the Australian jargon, some words may need defining. The characters are placed against a vividly described Australian Outback. The story centers around two women--an aunt and her niece who are challenged by the land, its people and world war. It is written in first person with flashbacks intertwined to relay the family history. I was enthralled from the first page.
