This month we will be discussing The Ladies of Missalonghi by Colleen McCullough.
Edited from a review in Publishers Weekly:
Set in the early 1900s in the tiny town of Byron, nestled in the Australia's Blue Mountains, Missy Wright is a 33-year-old, single, poor relation of the town's ruling family, the Hurlingfords. Missy, her widowed mother and disabled aunt live in genteel poverty, victims of the Hurlingford inheritance policy that gives riches and power to the male members of the family. Missy seems fated for a dreary future until a distant cousin, a divorcee, arrives from Sydney. Under her tutelage, Missy acquires spunk, hope and the means to a happy ending.
