It's Time to Meet Dela

The Woman in the Green Dress

The Woman in the Green Dress by Tea Cooper was quite enjoyable. I loved the dual timeline and was interested in reading a historical fiction set in WWI. Because of the dual timeline, there are two main characters. WWI Fleur and 1850s Della. I chose to focus on Della because I connected more with her character. Although I understood some of Fleur's angst, much of it felt overboard for me, making it difficult to form a bond.

Della, on the other hand, I loved. She is spirited. She is her own person. She works to understand the land she lives on and those native to the land - despite all the pressure to conform to society standards.

Just as importantly, I learned a lot about Australia, the native people, and the flora and fauna - but in a way that felt natural and not at all like a textbook. Finally, I learned why we have the saying, "Dressed to kill." (It has something to do with the color green!)

I would give this book a 4 out of 5 stars. If you read it (or have read it), let me know what you think!
