Her husband is an historian, so the facts and all the little details are correct too.<br /><br />She was planning to finish the series in 1945, with one book for each year. Obviously this plan has gone out the window as we are still in 1935 after book 8!<br /><br />I've enjoyed all these books, but 6, 7 & 8 have definitely been the best and still getting better, IMO.<br /><br />The highlight of this one was getting to know about the back story with Rowly's father. It has given the series an emotional depth that rewards the constant reader :-)Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-43050019965004697872017-11-19T00:14:38.210+11:002017-11-19T00:14:38.210+11:00I love Aussie humor!

I don’t usually care for books in a series as they tend to have lousy endings and keep going ad infinitum but this series has been quite enjoyable. When I read this book I realised that the author must have spent some time really thinking about and planning where this was all going to end up and when to draw upon the past to create more story.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820925595506920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-42501605484449726052017-11-15T07:34:50.276+11:002017-11-15T07:34:50.276+11:00Great review.

The book sounds very good. The characters sound interesting. Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
