This is typical of Anna Jacobs, I never want her stories to end! This story about ordinary folk trying to make a go of it in Australia is addictive, I didn't want to put it down and could have read the whole thing in one go, if I'd had the time. Well done Anna, more of the same please!

'Freedom's Land' by Anna Jacobs is for the adventurous spirit.It is the first time my wife and I have read this Author and we certainly wish to read more.The Characters are true to life and it is a great story.It has every element of surprise and challenge.The brave souls who left our shores motivated by either the loss of Loved Ones in post-WW1 Britain or simply the opportunity to make good and give their children a lasting legacy are forgotten heroes of their time.The story deals with the fanciful proposals and expectation of these Pioneers, followed by the base reality of their arrival.The merging of individuals and cultures set against the harsh backdrop of the Australian Bush makes for great interest and anticipation.The Aussies of the novel do extend a hand of Friendship but they expect the full quota of determination and effort from the new 'Pom' arrivals.They resent any show of half-heartiness. Travellers to the Western Province of Australia would now see a different terrain to the one faced by the characters in the book. It is therefore a very informative read.

As always from Anna Jacobs a fantastic read, characters that draw you in instantly without being overly descriptive, just enough to paint an initial picture. I have read all this authors books and never been dissapointed yet, long may she carry on writing.
