Description
' . . . a brilliant story of courage in the face of adversity; of fighting for what you believe is right; and the way some some small rural communities are left behind and forgotten in time's advancement. A five-star read.' Reading, Writing & Riesling ' . . . fast paced, well-written . . . convincing and spirited.' The Weekly Times When city naturopath Rilee Summers meets tall, laidback farmer Dan Kincaid, sparks fly. A whirlwind romance follows, and the next thing Rilee knows, she's married and living on her husband's family property in a small rural community. It's hard getting to know her new husband under the eyes of his entire family but, never one to shy from a challenge, Rilee is determined to win over her in-laws and the townsfolk of nearby Pallaburra. Unfortunately, her city ways and outspoken views only seem to alienate them further. Worn down by the town's ill-will and Dan's lack of support, Rilee flees the station to think about the future. This wasn't how her life was supposed to turn out. Can her marriage survive? 'Karly Lane has an uncanny knack for truly capturing the spirit of rural communities. She clearly has a love for rural Australia.' Read the Write Act

Reviews'I cannot rave enough about Six Ways to Sunday by Karly Lane, which is an easy fit in my top ten reads this year. It is a book that I could not put down and will go back to read again and again.' Talking Books Blog 'Six Ways to Sunday reminds me why I love the writing of Karly Lane and leaves me waiting semi-patiently for her next release.' Beauty and Lace 'This is a great piece of Australian Rural fiction that touches on a very real issue and has a lovely romance at its centre... She clearly has a love for rural Australian and Six Ways to Sunday is a great addition to her ever-growing catalogue of compelling Australian stories.' Read the Write Act 'Six Ways to Sunday by Aussie author Karly Lane is a brilliant story of courage in the face of adversity; of fighting for what you believe is right; and the way some small rural communities are left behind and forgotten in the advancement of time...I have no hesitation in highly recommending this 5 star read, Six Ways to Sunday, to fans of the rural romance genre.' Reading, Writing and Riesling 'It's always wonderful to have a book you can pick up and know that you're going to enjoy it, and Six Ways to Sunday definitely fits that bill for me. It's a glimpse into a life I don't lead, but can recognise aspects of and identify with the characters in ways that other books just don't do for me. This is the perfect summer read.' The Noveltea Corner 'While city girl to farm wife is by no means a new premise for a novel, Karly Lane's clear passion for rural Australia, along with her intelligent interweaving of serious rural issues into the storyline, elevates Six Ways to Sunday into a class of its own.' Theresa Smith Writes 'It is a fast paced, well-written read with an entertaining plot and likeable (and unlikeable!) characters that are convincing and spirited.' The Weekly Times
