'I've waited for this moment so long, dreamed of it, prepared for it, I can barely believe it's finally here. But it is. And it is nothing like I expected.'

There was a short time in Australia's European history when two women wielded extraordinary power and influence behind the scenes of the fledgling colony.

One was Elizabeth Macquarie, the wife of the new governor Lachlan Macquarie, nudging him towards social reform and magnificent buildings and town planning. The other was Elizabeth Macarthur, credited with creating Australia's wool industry and married to John Macarthur, a dangerous enemy of the establishment.

These women came from strikingly different backgrounds with husbands who held sharply conflicting views. They should have been bitter foes.

I chose to read this book because my husband, Lewis Alexander McQuarrie is a descendant of Lachlan Macquarie and I wanted to know more about the family and their lives. Such an excellent book and it kept me interested throughout. The narrator also brought this book to life with her beautiful voice.
Elizabeth and Betsy were strong women with so much to offer, an example to us all.

A wonderful story of strong women!
