Thank you for putting us in very special company on the front page of the Mother’s Day 2015 recommendations newsletter.

What an outstanding read Bernice Barry’s new book, Georgiana Molloy, is. This is a biography on a significant historical Australian settler that should become a part of the curriculum and read by anyone who has even the remotest interest in settlement, history, significant Australians or simply an interest in the local area.

I rarely read bio’s and although I enjoy history I find most books on history fairly dry, but Bernice’s book is one of the best biographies I have read!
Highly recommended.

This is an exquisitely presented book about the outstanding life of one of Western Australia’s leading ladies. Historical narrative exposing a tale of love, drama, adventure and resilience.

An enormous thank you to the Hon Barry House, the team at MR Bookshop, the friends who sent flowers and sponsored the wonderful wine we drank from Gralyn and Cape Mentelle (‘Georgiana’) the descendants of original Augusta settlers and the many others who travelled to join us in Margaret River. We launched a book… but it was also truly a celebration of Georgiana’s life and work. This photo captures perfectly my own experience of the event: the joy in finally signing books for readers after so many years of working towards that – and in the background, by pure coincidence, the portrait of little Georgiana holding flowers, a story I told during the launch. She was there.
