Product Description
Product Description
When Perfection Middleton catches the eye of Darcy Buchanan, all hell breaks loose. Joint heir to the vast estate of Caravale in North Queensland, he's a catch all right, and far too good for a housemaid whose parents came over on a convict ship. That's what his family thinks, anyway, and his brother Ben dreams up an ingenious plan to prevent the marriage. It's a plan that goes tragically wrong...
Lew Cavour is very taken with Perfy too, but he gets caught up in the gold rush and the race to stake a claim on the river of gold, as does Ben Buchanan, who sees it as the only way he can buy out Perfy's share of Caravale. But their journey to the river of gold is dogged by disease, madness and murder...

Fascinating story
25 Feb 2011
Format:Paperback
This novel was a complete surprise. The characters and the evolution of the story are amazing. There is no sugar coating the life in Australia during the gold rush nor the lines drawn between poor and rich, natives, chinese and whites. The characters are all interesting and the stars are Diamond and Perfection. Around these two women are many years of suffering and their quest to find love and happiness. The twists, turns and adventure are all captivating covering beautiful and harsh land as well as adventure by sea. I recommend this book to anyone who loves history and a true picture of what it took to live during 1860's.

This book was very interesting and made you want to carry on reading, and the characters where good,
but a few issues in the book I felt were unresolved and the ending seemed to suddenly hit you. All in all it was very readable.
