Here is my contribution to Book Beginnings on Friday hosted at Rose City Reader. This book is a follow up to The Postmistress which I read a couple of months ago:
20 June 1873 Maiden's Creek Victoria
"Out of the way, woman!"
And for Friday 56 hosted by Freda's Voice
As he talked, Eliza realised that the currents of social tension that flowed beneath the fabric of Maiden's Creek were no different from those in any small community and she had better watch her sharp tongue, or she risked alienating every woman in town by the following Sunday.
It's a dramatic beginning as someone is nearly collided into by a runaway horse!
Great advice in that 56! Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
