I enjoyed The Sisters' Song by Louise Allan which is set in northern Tasmania from the 1930s. The sisters Ida and Nora are very different. Nora is a gifted musician and singer and pursues a career in that direction while Ida was a nanny before marrying. Ida has a difficult life for the first part of her marriage. She looks after her widowed mother and some years later is reunited with Nora when her circumstances change. This was very good writing, the characters well drawn. I became immersed in the sisters' lives, wanting to know what would happen next. 4/5
