Always a reader. Writing to remember and to share my thoughts on the books I read.
The premise of Bittersweet by Colleen McCullough holds such promise. Four strong young women – four sisters - set out to train as nurses, seeking change and independence in 1920s and 1930s Australia. I wanted and expected the story of women doing great things or at least managing life on their own; what I got was a romance with heroes and villains.
