I've reread this book about a half a dozen times. The characters are interesting and likeable and the minimal love scenes are nicely done. I'd love to see a sequel to this book. All in all, a sweet little book.
The book is about an Australian orphan girl, who has moved in with her aunt in a new town (after her parents are killed) and who quickly befriends the cute little blonde girl next door. As they grown older, the orphan girl grows to love her best friend but they are torn apart by society and circumstance. Years later, the orphan, who is now the town librarian, learns that her friend is getting divorced and coming back to town to visit her parents, with child in tow. More than half the book explores how the two women are reunited and whether they will admit they still love each other. Sweet little story.
