review 1: This has to be the best Rachael Treasure book I have read yet. Emily is a cattleman's daughter who has lost sight of who she is and where she belongs. An almost tragic accident brings her life back into focus and she returns to the Victorian high country to heal emotionally and physically. As she reconnects with her ancestors, passion ignites with the meeting of Luke the new park ranger in town. However, cattlemen and the government have never got along - so is their relationship doomed from the beginning. Treasure manages to describe the high country to a tea, and the bush fire drama may strike too close to home to some readers if they were involved in the tragic bush fires in Victoria. Rachael seems to improve with each story she pens and I recommend The Cattleman's Daug... morehter as her best yet!!
review 2: I have fallen in love with Australia and it's all thanks to Rachael Treasure and her books. I can't help but be attracted to the rugged beauty of the land as she describes it. I always thought Australia was settled as a colony by the British and that the aboriginals were maligned and mistreated, but I must admit to being unaware about the history of the land and how some families had lived on it for hundreds of years.Ms.Treasure writes an engrossing and captivating read about a young woman who has lost herself and finds herself coming home. She returns home with a broken marriage, a shaken self confidence, and two little girls. Emily also comes home to find that a law might be passed that would seriously hamper their livelihood and would put a stop to hundreds year of tradition regarding cattle farming. The face of opposition in Dargo is Luke, the new handsome young officer and representative of the government. Emily can't help but be drawn to him even knowing she's shaky and the fact he's supposed to be the enemy.My only complaint about this book would be about Clancy, Emily's husband. He appeared in one or two scenes but that was it. There was no mention of a divorce being finalized or him having regrets for his actions, or Emily getting retribution, which I admit, I would have loved to read. But Ms. Treasure more than makes up for it with the inclusion of mysticism. You'd think it'd be silly, but it only serves to emphasize the tie between the past and present and add another layer to the story. I sincerely hope Ms.Treasure keeps writing. It is such a pleasure to read her books. less
