Praise
Small stones make big ripples in time... A compelling story of family, marriage and betrayal. Through Patmore’s eloquent prose we endure the hardship of Iris’s emigration from England to Australia after World War I. We suffer the indignities, bear the losses and see the repercussions of the choices Iris made for a better life. A story that eventually brings us back to where it all started when Jarrah seeks to understand Iris’s journey. An accomplished debut that lives beyond the page.

I was totally involved with this unique multigenerational story and it's compelling descriptions of complex characters and of the hardships of early West Australian settlers. An absolute page turner!
