1871. When Fergus Deagan's wife dies in childbirth, she makes him promise to take their family to Western Australia to join his brother Bram, also to marry again. She's right. His young sons and newborn daughter do need a mother's love and he needs something different.
Disowned by her father for becoming pregnant, Cara Payton bears a stillborn baby. She's in deep despair, until a plea to wetnurse a motherless baby gives her life new purpose. When Fergus proposes marriage, she accepts. She respects him and is happy to stay with the baby she now loves.
During the voyage to Australia, she and Fergus draw closer. Then her past rears its ugly head and they face a terrible crisis.
When they finally get to Fremantle, Fergus and Bram, always rivals, struggle to make friends. To make matters worse, Bram has financial problems and there is no railway where Fergus can find engineering work. Can the two brothers solve their problems? Will the newcomers find a way to build a new life?

I have enjoyed every single book in The Traders series. I was slightly concerned about the change in narrator for the final installment but the narration was superb. I cannot reccomend these books enough.

Truly wonderful

a great end to the series.

I enjoyed this saga a lot, this was a fantastic end to the series and I have loved seeing all the different members of Brams family join him and the character development has been amazing.

I was not sure about Fergus at first as I thought him pretty selfish, however when it was clear he was like that because he cared about his family and wanted to ensure he was doing his best for them I warmed to him. Cara was a lovely character and the way she took care of Nieve despite losing her own baby was lovely. I also liked Remmy the side character and it was lovely to have Livia more involved in this book again.

I am really pleased I finally got around to reading these two series as this one and the gibson family saga were fantastic. When I first got introduced to this author through the elindale saga I did not expect to enjoy her work so much however i've since found every book i've read I've enjoyed a lot. I'll deffinately go back and read the swan river colony saga at some point to.

a great end to the series.
