What reviewers are saying:

"Beth Camp brings the early years of the 19th Century alive with her authentic settings and characterizations. The heartache and joy of Mac and Diedre's relationship keeps you glued to the page." –Amazon reviewer.

"Brilliant book! The continuation of the McDonnell story is just as gripping and real as the first novel. The fascinating characters and vivid historic landscape give a real sense of the life in early Australian colonies." –GoodReads reviewer.

"Years of Stone is a novel full of rich detail. Real persons from the time, such as the Franklins. are woven seamlessly into the fabric of the story, and the setting feels authentic. The story worms its way through every stratum of colonial society. I felt that I, like the main characters, had been transported to another land." –Amazon reviewer.

"What I love is Beth Camp’s fanaticism for research that page after page yields the precise, telling detail. Years of Stone is a rich, emotional read; highly recommended!" –GoodReads reviewer.

“Years of Stone” is a book of hope, and also a fascinating historical novel detailing life in Tasmania. You get a good panorama of the state as it was then. We see more than Hobart and the convict settlements. We are taken through the mountainous and treacherous bushland, to the lovely rural properties of early settlers, and to the misery of the Cascades Female Factory. The author has carried out meticulous research, and it shows. –Good Reads reviewer. ...more
