Morning's Gate

Although this book can stand on its own merits it is ideally the follow up to the aclaimed "Louisa Elliott" as the characters therein continue their story, but from a different perspective.This book is a must for genealogists who love a good novel. It also deals with the issue of WWI in a heart warming and gut wrenching way as we follow one of the main characters through the Australian ranks at Gallipolli and the battlefields of France.Added to the narrative of the past, is a narrative of the present, where the modern day genealogist and her newly found cousin share an intimate love story whilst researching and being overshadowed by their past ancestors' complicated lives.With both a supernatural and realistic theme - it's a "jolly good yarn".
