Review of The Untold by Courtney Collins

The book is set in the Australian outback in the 1920's. It tells the story of a woman horsethief. The story unfolds in scenes from her early life to the present day 1920's as she is being hunted by the law and vigilantes. The evocation of the hard life lived on isolated homesteads in the outback is done well. I was drawn into this story of a strong, female character and wanted to know how it would end. I won't spoil the story by revealing the ending. Suffice it to say that she uses all her wiles to survive as best she can.
