The Family Secret
The Family Secret | Fiona Palmer
1 post | 2 read | 1 to read
From one of Australia's favourite storytellers comes a heartwarming story spanning three generations about when to fight and when to surrender - and how new love can heal old wounds. Kim Richards is a creative woman of the land, a rural ambassador who's renowned for her contribution to her community. But deep down, she's lonely. She's already watched the man she loves falls for someone else, and her dream of starting her own family feels like it's slipping through her fingers. Enter Charlie McNamara, an older man who's arrived in Lake Grace on business. Sparks fly between Kim and Charlie, but he seems to have a hidden agenda and a past life he's trying to hide. They're both drawn to local hermit Harry, a Vietnam veteran who's haunted by memories from the war. What ties these lost souls together? Can they solve a long-held family mystery and heal fractures of the heart? 'Fiona Palmer has well and truly earned her place as a leading writer of one of Australia's much loved genres.' Countryman

The Family Secret was a fast read but am enjoyable one. We catch up with the main characters of The Saddler Boys, but this story is about Kim and Charlie. Kim's a lonely farmer, Charlie has come to the country to find out more about a decades old secret. There is also a historical plot set during the Vietnam war. I felt sometimes that the 2 plot lines competed against each other, but it was still a great Aussie rural fic. #australian #ruralfiction

suomi I still need to read that one. I've read all her other books and really liked them. I'm addicted to rural fiction ☺ 8y
