Having read all of Victoria Holt's novels, I moved onto her other books written under other names. I had started other Jean Plaidys, but found them boring, but Beyond the Blue Mountains is excellent. The only thing I did not enjoy was the portrayal of Kitty in her daughter Carolan's section of the novel. Also, not enought time was actually spent in Australia to warrant the title of the book. The Australian part is by far the best in the book.

I'm only sixteen and I read this book age eleven, but even I can see how good it is. It shows us the cruelty and evil that existed in the Georgian era and the horros of transportation. The heroine Carolan is engaging and it's heart breaking to see her changed by her experiences - she goes from well-meaning girl to hardened woman. The good thing about this is that it is shown belivably. Every facet of this story counts, so it merits much rereading.

I was a bit unsure about the book before I read it, seeing as Jean Plaidy usually writes about specific historical persons and not general history, and I like her other books. After reading the very first chapters though it was as absorbing as all the others. The story is about three generations of women. It tells you about London and Australia and how life was then.
