The overwhelming and consuming love of two men for the same indomitable woman . . .

Mayfield is Joy Chambers' gripping saga set across nineteenth-century Australia and all the way to Boston, USA. The perfect read for fans of Judith Kinghorn and Patricia Shaw.

'Written with an ease of style and sophistication' - Liverpool Echo

In the grandest wedding the small western plains town of Bathurst has ever seen, Eve Herman, without position or money, is marrying John Stuart Wakeman, one of the richest, most influential men in the land. Before their wedding day is over, Australia's most wanted man, the bushranger Alan Fletcher, will have held up their coach and altered all their lives . . .

Alan Fletcher: aristocrat and Royal Naval Captain, wrongly convicted of murder and transported to New South Wales for life.

Eve Herman: American orphan, abandoned in Sydney town and left to survive by her wits and courage.

John Stuart Wakeman: the owner of fabled Mayfield, Australia's largest and most prosperous cattle property.

Mayfield is their story: from the streets of Southampton to the vast bush country of New South Wales and across the world to the city of old Boston, USA.

Kate's word ,

Another wonderful read by Joy Chambers. Set in the early settlement era in Australia the author brings to life the typical battler and hardships endured. It is a story of mate ship, courage, larrikinism, and self discovery. Intwined with all of this is a love story of a woman Evy, torn between two men who share their love for her in different ways. Compelling read which transports the reader to the mid 1850's.
