This sounds like a book I would enjoy.

And thank you for introducing me to Rosa Praed in your International Women’s Day. I just finished Lady Bridget from Gutenburg and I loved it. Her writing was so good as were her characterizations. I had no idea that any one in that era was sympathetic to blacks. Were there others?

Participants are commenting that they’re amazed at the talent of the authors they’ve read and discovered. Without question, this is a wonderful outcome, particularly if their enthusiasm flows on to others.

As well as considering Jennings for my list, I nearly started it with Ada Cambridge’s A woman’s friendship. However, I’ve also read Praed’s The bond of wedlock (at least I think that was hers, wasn’t it?). Both are great early Aus writers who need more airplay, aren’t they?
