Windflowers
A Novel of Australia
by Tamara McKinley
Review this book!
This epic novel begins in Australia in the 1930s, when Ellie is 14. Her father is killed in a dust storm, and she passes herself off as a boy and takes up with two brothers--gentle and quiet Joe, wild and impetuous Charlie. Ellie eventually makes her way to an aunt, who raises her, but she never loses contact with Joe and Charlie, both of whom serve in World War II--and both of whom have a claim on Ellie.

Publisher Notes
When Claire returns to her home in the Outback of Australia from Sydney, she must face and overcome a family shame that is almost too much for her to bear. By the author of Jacaranda Vines.
Media Reviews
"Narrative sweep and an evocative sense of place keep this from sinking under the weight of its contrivances."
