Críticas:

This is a fascinating insight into a piece of Australia's history that receives little attention. * Newcastle Herald, Australia on FREEDOM'S LAND * 'A gripping storyteller.' * Sunday Star Times, Auckland, NZ * Vivid insight into family relationships * Coventry Evening Telegraph * Jacobs excels at creating vivid, memorable characters. * Booklist USA * Anna Jacobs' books are deservedly popular. She is one of the best writers of Lancashire sagas around. * Historical Novels Review * Impressive grasp of human emotions. * The Sunday Times * 'A compelling read' * Sun on FREEDOM'S LAND * The story keeps you turning the pages with characters who have you cheering for them or despising them. An added bonus is the opportunity to catch up with old friends in the characters from previous books. This is a must read book but only open it when you have time to read it as it's hard to put down. * Australian Romance Readers Association on THE TRADER'S SISTER *

Biografía del autor:

Anna Jacobs grew up in Lancashire and emigrated to Australia, but still visits the UK regularly to see her family and do research, something she loves. She is addicted to writing and figures she'll have to live to be 120 at least to tell all the stories that keep popping up in her imagination and nagging her to write them down. She's also addicted to her own hero, to whom she's been happily married for many years. She is the bestselling author of over eighty novels and has been shortlisted for several awards, and Pride of Lancashire won the Australian Romantic Book of the Year Award in 2006.
