My heart went out to Ruth and what she had to go through after her husband Clarence returned from the war. Strong female characters are the backbone of this gripping story, and it is Ruth's daughter, Emily, who provides a shining light.I really enjoyed this book and read it very quickly as I became engulfed in the lives of the characters. They represent so many of our everyday Australian families and what they endured through WWI and WWII. Having previously read many stories on Australian War History and re-counts from soldiers, I really enjoyed this novel as it involves and tells the story of both sides, the soldier in the battle and the family at home waiting for news. Whilst also giving an insight into the long lasting
Really liked this book. The story flowed really well and kept me turning the pages. The book takes you into the family's life and relays all the emotions of such a difficult time in our history.
Author Michael J Murphy lives in rural New South Wales with his wife and five children. While working as a journalist for a country newspaper, Michael has combined his passion for writing with his life-long interest in history to produce his first novel, Beneath The Willow.
A great read! Interesting story & characters.
I really enjoyed this book and found it hard to put down as the story developed. A strong story about a family dealing with tragedy.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters had depth and the time periods really resonated with me. The main theme of the story is something that many people could relate to. The book covers several generations of a family from the early twentieth century and how they struggle to deal with tragedy. Would recommend.
