Most of the time I read books by authors from the USA, but that's just because most Christian fiction is coming from there. So today I decided you give you a teaser from an Australian author that I am currently reading.
Golden Fiddles by Mary Grant Bruce
'They had left Tupurra in a state of wild excitement, and the journey, while the daylight lasted, had been all wonder and delight. Then had come some hours of darkness, which had taken some of the edge off their spirits, since even the marvel of being in a train for the first time may pall when it is impossible to look out tof the window. But Melbourne's first glimpse had revived the children. They thrilled at the gleaming electric signs as the train neared Prince's Bridge; the roar of the station renewed the thrill.'
This is historical fiction, but for me, it is set in an area that is very familiar to me, and that makes it really interesting. It's not the first time I've read this book, but since the last time I read it I've learned more about the history of Melbourne and some of the things in it.
