Lady Bridget in the Never-Never Land: a story of Australian life by Mrs. Campbell Praed

bridgeca2's review

4.0

For a book written in the early 1900s, it’s a fairly modern story that I highly enjoyed. A love story of a man and a woman who come from utterly different worlds (the Bush in Australia and an aristocrat from Ireland) that also addresses topics of female independence, divorce, slavery, and union work force. Some of the norms of society at that time and Australian lingo were lost on me but I particularly loved all the descriptions of the gardens and plants.
