The Ballad of Banjo Crossing by Tess Evans
3.0
I was lucky enough to be gifted a copy of this book through goodreads giveaways.
The Ballad of Banjo Crossing has a distinctly Australian voice. It feels like a real story about a real country town. Anyone that has stopped into a country town in Australia will immediately conjure up the visual elements and feel like they know the landscape. The local characters are just what you would expect for a rural Aussie town. It is well plotted, and the undercurrent touches on issues that many rural areas all over the world have had to deal with. The romance element is sweet and i was surprised at Jack's secret. It didn't totally wow me, but it was a quiet and easy read that flowed well and kept me interested.
