Dark Earth

Book Club For One


This book was very clever.

The historical tie-ins were cleverly done.

The women were clever. 

If I had to describe it in a single word, that would be it. Clever.

Opening Line:

Isla and Blue are sitting on the mound watching the river creep up on the wrecks and over the black stubs of the old jetties out on the mudflats, waiting for Father to finish his work in the forge.

Isla is such a wonderful name. My grandmother had a sister named Isla.
