Book Overview
Hailed by bestselling author Kate Morton as "a gorgeous story of family and secrets and the redemptive power of love," Wildflower Hill is s compelling and romantic novel spanning three generations and half the world, from modern day London to Australia in the 1930s. Emma is a prima ballerina in London and at a crossroads after an injured knee ruins her career. When she learns of her grandmother Beattie's death, and her own strange inheritance--an isolated sheep station in rural Australia--Emma is certain she has been saddled with an irritating burden. But when she returns to Australia, forced to rest her body and confront her life, she realizes that she had been using fame as a substitute for love and fulfillment. Beattie also found herself at a crossroads as a young woman, but she was pregnant and unwed. She eventually found success--but only after following an unconventional path that was often dangerous and heartbreaking. Beattie knew the lessons she learned in life would be important to Emma one day, and she wanted to make sure Emma's heart remained open to love, no matter what life brought. She knew the magic of the Australian wilderness would show Emma the way. Wildflower Hill is a compelling, atmospheric, and romantic novel about taking risks, starting again, and believing in yourself. It's about finding out what you really want and discovering that the answer might be not at all what you'd expect.

WILDFLOWER HILL by Kimberley Freeman
A heartwarming yet sad and poignant novel about perseverance, love, sacrifice, and family. I adored this and was fully immersed in the lives of the characters.
Beattie Blaxland wasn’t perfect, but she has compassion, kindness and courage. I felt her pain when tragedy struck and cheered her on when things worked in her favor.
Beattie and Charlie’s storyline was beautiful and tragic. I loved them together even though I knew where it was headed. I wanted to smack the narrow minded, sanctimonious, busy bodies in their town. Some things never change unfortunately.
Oh and Beattie’s letter to Lucy was so perfectly, devastatingly, beautifully written - I legit cried.
While I understand why Emma’s storyline was included, I don’t believe it added anything significant. Beattie’s story had so much more depth; it could’ve been a stand-alone book. That said, I did enjoy Emma’s chapters especially her interactions with Mina and Patrick.
I wish this one had a sequel especially since the end left me with so many questions. Highly recommend!
