Teddy: Oh no – pressure!!!! *laughing* I’ve not read Restoration…so can’t compare the two. I hope my recommendation proves to be a good one for you!

Tiny Librarian: Thank you *blushes*

Wow, what an excellently-written review! Thanks. I hadn’t heard of this book or the author, but it sounds like an amazing story. Thanks!

Wow, excellent review. I had put this book on my TBR with hesitation, after readig another glowing review. I did not care for her book Restoration, in fact, I did not finish it. However, this book sounds much different and now it has the “Cariboumom seal of approval”. The is no hesitation anymore!

Jeane: I didn’t know about the gold rush in New Zealand either, until I read this book. I love reading books set in different countries with different cultures.

Laura: It is definitely worth the read.

Dew: LOL!

Jill: I am looking forward to reading Music and Silence in October for a book club read…and I’m also getting a review copy of The Road Home, so that will be on my reading pile in the next couple of months.

Ann: I hope you’ll read this one – it is so beautifully written.

Kailana: Oh, hope you’ll read it…and yes, nice cover!

One of my friends gave me a Rosie Tremain book to read at some point and time and while I thought it was pretty good, I have yet to read her since. Maybe I should pick up this book… I like the cover!

Tremain is one of those writers I dip into every now and again, rather than automatically reading everything she writes and so this is a book I haven’t yet got round to despite the fact that everyone I know who has read it has been as warm in their praise as you have. Another one for the pile!

A great review! I was pleasantly surprised by the power of Tremain’s writing. Can’t wait to read more from her.

Hmm, a book set in 1864 that isn’t about the American Civil War? That’d be different, for me anyway. I’ll add this to the wishlist!

Like Jeane said–I didn’t know about the New Zealand gold rush either! This sounds like a really great book! I’ll have to keep my eye out for it!

Wow, this sounds like a great book. I’m curious about the Maori woman- I read another book that focused on Maoris and it was very interesting. I didn’t know there was a gold rush in New Zealand. Have to add this to my TBR.
