Jan All the Rivers Run, Nguyen Linh Chi rated it really liked it. I have so many feelings after reading this book, thus I write this review continuously without any attention to grammar and lexical patterns. Another Australian novel. I'm just in love with everything related to Australia. If The All the Rivers Run bird brings you to a sheep station in an arid area, this novel All the Rivers Run all about rivers, water and vessels. Murray and Darling are two rivers mentioned in this novel. As a matter of fact, Murray is the longest river in Australia which flows across Victoria, New South Wa I have so many feelings after reading this book, thus I write this review continuously without any attention to grammar and lexical patterns. According to Delie, the main character, Muray seems to be muddy and melancholic whilst Darling is more romantic and peaceful. Delie, a painter lives in Echuca, falls in love three times in her life. The first one is Adam, her All the Rivers Run cousin. She loves him with the purest soul of an artist, of a teenage girl with adolescent crisis, jealousy and sexual desire. The second one is Brenton, strong and masculine, a captain with intense sexual desire. The All the Rivers Run one is Alastair, in my opinion he is the most suitable one for her artistic soul. I don't know why she marries Brenton, because of admiration, infatuation or she just want to settle down with the captain of her boat? She just bears with all the time he cheats her, he is violent to her and the children, he is irresponsible, All the Rivers Run is drunk all the time after his accident? How can a great artist like her end up with that mediocre man? Living in the boat, being a housewife, having 4 children, losing 2 newly-born babies, suffering Brenton's temperament - she just doesn't deserve that! The twist which made me almost cry is when she's got a depression after giving birth her 5th child. As a husband, Brenton just doesn't care about her feelings, he is just drunk and beat her and humiliate her! I think that life in their boat, her husband and her giving up painting make her depressed. Alastair is the one for her, she should have met him sooner. Despite her hard life, she still gets attention from many men. I think her endowed beauty combined with artistic soul that makes her attractive even when she has 4 children. Art helps you remain your joyfulness, that's why a woman who loves art is always intriguing and stimulating. I would rate 3. Compared to The Thorn Birdthe plot twists in this novel is not that fascinating. Delie's life seems All the Rivers Run have fewer ups and downs, twists and turns than Meghen's. However, All the Rivers Run book All the Rivers Run heal your soul, it makes you feel peaceful, it is like a cookie for your afternoon tea time. Though this seems to be a cliche reading for girls, there are 2 lessons I can learn from it: 1 A woman's desire, dream and ambition have to be appreciated as a man's and 2 Don't understate the determination of a woman. An artistic woman can become surprisingly strong and unflinching for her beloved kids and family. View all 5 comments.

This is the story of Philadelphia Gordon, who was sent to live on the banks of the Murray River in Australia with her aunt and uncle after the lost of her parents when she was 13 years old. The book describes the Midwestern pioneer life in the beginning of 20th century. It should be pointed out that, at that time, the rivers were the practical way to travel through this huge country. Surprisingly, the author gave an artistic ability to the main character, a pioneer woman who was used to face the difficulties of survival along the river she loved so much. View all 3 comments. I remember 'All the Rivers Run' fondly, but it was the very early 's when I read the book and the rating is straight from memory. However, armed only with those memories, I would still recommend this Cato read as a good one without hesitation. I do remember, with clarity, reading it during an unusually hot southern summer and longing to jump into the wetness of that river the heroine kept traveling up All the Rivers Run down many times! View 1 comment. All the Rivers Run is a delightful story of the escapades of a fiery young woman and her steamboat All the Rivers Run. It left an indelible impression on me; the movie was equally terrific thanks to the young actress, Sigrid Thornton, who played Delie Gordon. Delie was beautiful, fiery, high-spirited, and passionate! Raw, untamed, unbridled, and bursting with fire and life; truly ahead of her time by about a hundred years! I had wanted to read this book for awhile. Managed to find a copy at my local library which was over 30 years old and an item that they apparently lent to me from their "stack collection" whatever that is! There were two mini-series based on this book neither which I have seen for a very long time. The first mini-series All the Rivers Run the Rivers Run is based on the first half of the book and follows it fairly closely with only a few scenes re-written, although the outcome is the same. The second mini I had wanted to read this book for awhile. The second mini-series All the Rivers Run II is based on the second half of the book and really only loosely uses a few concepts. The book itself follows the life of Philadelphia Gordon from the minute she sets foot on Australian soil. First-loves, heartbreak, burgeoning art career, marriage, children, personal tragedy and guilt all All the Rivers Run to confuse Delie's life, but the one thing that remains constant in her life, that helps lift her spirits and signify to her that everything will be OK is the sight of the mighty rivers The Murray and The Darling that she has grown up with, grown to love and live on. Cato must have either lived in the area or did an amazing amount of research as I believe all the places in the book are real, some of them still exist. She builds a lovely description of what life was like during the Australian Paddle Steamer All the Rivers Run. Jul 31, Nicola rated it liked it. Australian Historical novel set in the s.

I truly enjoyed the mastery of the language, Cato brought the charters and scenery to life in a vibrant manner. Often I felt like I could actually All the Rivers Run the places that Delie was travelling to. Living and growing with Philadelphia Gordon, from childhood to late in life I found myself brought to both tears and laughter. Reading of a strong female character who was willing to break gender barriers was refreshing and rewarding. I did find the book to be a bit lengthy, feeling that some of the story could have been omitted without affecting the overall feeling and understanding. All The Rivers Run by Nancy Cato

Title: All the Rivers Run All the Rivers Run Orphaned after a shipwreck off the Victorian coast of Australia, the beautiful and spirited Philadelphia Gordon finds both love and adventure aboard a paddle-steamer on the Murray River. McAnally uq. The first series was quite All the Rivers Run to the Nancy Cato book, but here the writers have gone their own sweet way, concentrating on a fairly youthful Delie and Brenton. The trouble is too much of the story is away from the river, and concentrates to a large extent on Brenton. It's very episodic - we don't see the children noticeably age. Although we loosely cover the children's stay at Mrs Melville, we lose the detail about Meg staying on because she's infatuated with their older son - well, Meg here is only a little girl rather than the teenager she ought to have become. All in all it's a good All the Rivers Run, although the ending seems hurried and without giving away the plot unreasonable. I'd recommend reading the book in which Delie is a real three dimensional character, rather than a fairly cardboard figure. If you can find it, it's still worth giving this sequel a viewing - All the Rivers Run acting and camera-work is brilliant, and the producers have done a fine job in creating turn-of-the-century Echuca.
