Why read it?

1 author picked Daughter of the Murray as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is the perfect read for a rainy day and I quickly fell in love with the main female protagonist, Georgina. Spirited, brave, and a bit foolhardy, she fulfills all the hopes you might have for a heroine in a historical romance, yet she will surprise you too. The river settings in Australia’s southeastern river belt in the 1890s are pure escapism and leave plenty of scope for adventure. Highly recommended.

From Mary-Anne's list on featuring women you want as BFF’s.
