Book 3 of 3: Kitty McKenzie

See all formats and editions

From the award-winning author of The Slum Angel.
1914, Australia.
As war is declared, the idyllic world of Blue Water Station is torn apart when Oliver, the eldest grandson and heir, shares his desire to enlist in the army. His enthusiasm ignites his brother, cousins and friends to do the same, but upsets his sister, Tilly. After a tragic family incident, Tilly is left to run the cattle station and take care of the older folk. A chance meeting with a sophisticated Lieutenant opens up a friendship through letters, but it’s a rogue stockman who attracts her attention with dire consequences.
With the men at war, and her heart pulled in two directions, Tilly must grow up quickly and face the consequences of her rash decisions. Will She find her own happiness? Surviving a baptism of battle fire in Gallipoli, Turkey, Oliver and the men are sent to France and feel the brutal force of the Western Front. The only glimmer of light for Oliver is his relationship with Jessica, an army nurse. But as the terrors of war impact him, he feels the heavy guilt of encouraging the others to follow him into combat. Will he, and they, ever make it home to Blue Water.
Can the grandchildren of Kitty McKenzie survive the horrors of war?

"Poignant, powerful and searingly emotional, AnneMarie Brear stands shoulder to shoulder with the finest works by some of the genre’s greatest writers such as Catherine Cookson, Audrey Howard and Rosamunde Pilcher." Amazon reviewer.

An award winning and Amazon UK best seller, Australian born AnneMarie Brear writes historical novels and modern romances and sometimes the odd short story, too. She has a love of old country houses, travelling, chocolate (except dark chocolate - not a fan), researching historical eras and looking for inspiration for her next book.

Good as a standalone but better if you read the series. Has a bit of everything history, romance, friendship, and family

Once again you kept me reading, wondering who would survive and where we would be next. The ending was just right, Oliver letting go of his guilt and Tully realizes why.

I never wanted it to end. I wanted to know about the people and the happenings. The war was horrid and each time I was happy when the boys made it safely. I wanted to shake Tully when she became involved with the scumbag. Each chapter was. Awaited with anticipation.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series and look forward to reading more books by Annemarie Brear.
Her description of the Australian landscape brings back so many fond memories of my own.

An Australian Family Experience in WWI

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2017

Author Brear's heartfelt prose puts you right into 1914 Australia and a young woman' struggle to run her family's station while her brothers go off to war. Tilly takes on a man's duties, and succeeds, but her emotions are open to the machinations of a villain.
Her brothers suffer the losses and horrors of war in Europe. Death and destruction is all around them, turning their youthful enthusiasm into the bare bones of survival. You will root for these well-rounded characters, I know I did. I especially enjoyed Tilly's story.

Loved the first two in the series, this one disappoints.

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2023

I was truly vested in Kitty McKenzie. This book is not about her at all. To call it a Kitty McKenzie book is doing a disservice to the reader. Kitty and her husband are just reduced to the role of grandparents and all of a sudden we are supposed to be interested in a mess of young adults two generations removed. going off to war. If I wanted a war book I would have bought one. I skipped through every other chapter from the war setting. No character was well developed and Tilly was not someone I was even remotely interested in, nor was Luke. The story line could never have stood alone, so it became part of the Kitty McKenzie story and as such was very disappointing.

It’s so easy to forget the past wars
Especially since this one was over a 100 years ago
AnnaMarie brought back to life the experience and emotions of soldiers mothers fathers and children.
Thank you for this book and let us not forget the trauma a war brings to everyone

Another very good book by this author

Reviewed in Australia on April 13, 2021

As I have read and enjoyed two Kitty McKenzie books, I just had to read this one which is about Kitty's grandchildren, her only grand-daughter Tilly being one of the main characters. Like the other two books this one didn't disappoint. The story regularly shifts between the running of an Australian cattle property without the young men in the family, to the horrors of WWI. Reading books about the wars makes us reflect on just how terrible those times were and appreciate how very brave and strong those who lived in those times had to be.
