Choppy, repetitious in parts, characters not fully developed. The historical elements were interesting, especially the sex discrimination women faced & effects of Depression in post-WWI Australia, as well as the bond between the two sets of twin sisters, but a disappointing novel by the author of "The Thorn BIrds".

The book had a good premise for the story, but changing the names of the characters and not fully developing some (such as Maud) was frustrating.

...a book about nothing.
