Carol is part historical novel and part romance, but mostly it is a faithfully observed account of the challenges of being a young woman growing up in regional Australia in the early 1970’s. Carol is bright and resilient and in common with many teenagers of the time she wants more from life than the beach and the typing pool. I found the novel engaging and easy to read. I’m looking forward to the next volume as Carol heads off to Sydney.
