AbstractHistoryArchive Description
A lonely child, Hester Fulton, is raised at Sandhurst and later on a station near Wentworth on the Murray River. She is better educated than her nearly illiterate family and is rescued from a forced marriage and nearly a rape by Walter Kent. They fall in love but on the eve of the wedding her former suitor's jealousy forges a letter which separates the betrothed for many months before they are reunited in Melbourne. Reasonably written, pace a little uneven and plot romantically improbable in parts. (PB)
