1899, Louise is now thirty-nine. She has spent the last twenty years in Australia. What has happened to her during that time? Why take an interest in her life again in 1900? Louise
had created a family for herself, but have these bonds withstood the test of time? A terrible event will trigger off exciting adventures around the world.
Louise will be led to leave Silverdale and its cattle station to go to Paris and London. Will she be able to find happiness again in the twentieth century
which will catch her unprepared?
Will Edward, Liam and Chevalier remain the only men in her life? Will Erlina, Prudence and Jane be the only ones to help her and stand by her during the
adventures that await her in this second book? Friends will appear again from the past... and ghosts. But can the future still have any surprises in store when
you have already led an eventful life? Will Louise be able to safeguard her love and her happiness at the beginning of the twentieth century?
You will find the answers to all these questions in Volume 2, Where are you roaming? where the poetry of the 19th century and the modernity of the 20th century come
together.
Publication of Where are you roaming? expected for July 2018!
