I enjoyed Wildflower Hill by Kimberley Freeman, a Queensland author. Australian ballerina Emma Blaxland-Hunter is living in London in 2009 enjoying a successful career. Her story is told in the first person. She is forced to return to Australia and is surprised to receive an inheritance from her grandmother - a house in Tasmania, Wildflower Hill. The other story is about her grandmother Beattie Blaxland, which is told in the third person. Beattie migrates to Tasmania from Scotland with her daughter and lover and settles in Hobart. Her circumstances change dramatically which has a huge impact on her life and following generations. Emma's mother and uncle know nothing about their mother's mysterious past and Emma finds clues in the house which help put the pieces together. A nice story about the two generations and the differences between them. 4/5
