Description
Cold Blows the Wind by Catherine Meyrick is set in vibrant Hobart Town 1878, a place where people from all corners of the earth come to start anew. For Ellen Thompson, this means trying to escape her past and find respectability as a young mother with a six-month-old baby. However, when she meets Harry Woods, a newcomer from Western Australia, her life is turned upside down. As Ellen navigates her dreams of marriage and a better life, the past begins to catch up with her. The story that unfolds is one of love - a mother's love for her children, a woman's love for her family, and those complicated loves that can be both a blessing and a curse. Based on a period in the author's great-great-grandparents' lives, Cold Blows the Wind is a powerful tale of the human spirit. This novel explores the complexities of life in 19th-century Tasmania, where the past and present collide in unexpected ways. With its strong female protagonist and rich historical context, it is a compelling read for anyone interested in Australian history or women's fiction.
