From time to time I read something other than the genre I write in, but this is the first time I have read a biography.
I was impressed by the way the author took the bare bones, combined with research, and made a fascinating tale.
The author made the life of the characters spring into being in all their warts and all situations.

Susan: Convict's daughter, soldier's wife, nobody's fool (English Edition) Kindle版
Susan Mason, the child of an Irish convict and his wife, was uneducated but streetwise and canny. From colonial Adelaide to the barracks towns of the British Isles, she fought her way, sometimes literally, through life. One man called her a little whore. Her husband once accused her of being a drunkard. Life often dealt her a poor hand. Yet she managed to survive the poverty of her childhood, the indignities of being an army wife and the joys and tragedies of being a mother with her fighting spirit intact. In following her story and that of her family, the author reveals not only the complexity of Susan’s character, but also what life was like for women on the edges of society in the Victorian era.

Great read. The detailed description of the early years is well written, taking you into their harsh living conditions and hard life of early Colonial SA, but the resilience to keep going after so many tragedies, tough lady.

Susan: Convict's Daughter, Soldier's Wife, Nobody's Fool by Aussie author Stella Budrikis is a biography of her great great grandmother, Susan Mason. Susan was born in Australia in 1848 to Irish parents who had travelled to the colonies, originally settling in Sydney then moving to Adelaide in South Australia. When Susan married David Mason, he was a member of the British army, and they eventually moved back to the British Isles.
Moving around constantly with David’s job in the army, Susan was continually pregnant, eventually giving birth to fourteen children. Susan was illiterate but managed under dire circumstances to raise her surviving children by becoming a laundress, which was a hard and demanding task where everything was done by hand, boiling the copper and using the mangle, then ironing it all when it was dry. David’s meagre wage with the army was barely enough for the family and when the older children began work, their little bit helped.
Susan’s story is interesting; it has obviously been researched well – but it’s a little like a history lesson. Nevertheless, those interested in Australian history, and that of our British cousins are sure to enjoy this look into the harsh and brutal life of one family in the mid 1800s to early 1900s. Recommended.

I found this book boring. I was going to stop reading it, kept going thinking it would get better. I was very disappointed in reading this, the book did not improve.
