3.5* rounded up... The premise of The Naturalist's Daughter was intriguing in its Australian setting.  Although events unfolded fairly slowly, there was a lot of information to learn and the dual timeline added to the overall strength of the plot.  This is definitely for those interested in historical fiction with a bit of romance...nothing spicy and overall a clean read.  
I listened to the audio version and I felt the narrator did a good job and added to the overall story.
Thanks to NetGalley and Harper Collins Focus/Harper Muse for this ARL.  All opinions are mine.
