Really enjoyed this book by an author whom I have read previously. Molly had such an exciting life and took every opportunity in great big bear hugs! Not an easy thing to have done in those days, being a young female. She visited so many places and met such interesting people. She was a young woman who knew her own mind and didn't allow anyone to dissuade her! Great book.......maybe a follow up?
Many thanx to NetGalley, the author and publishers for allowing me the chance to read and review this book.

This was interesting book bit I found the story jumped around a bit and at times I lost track of what was happening

Molly Sparks is a young girl full of ambition to be a performer. At eighteen she takes a job as a Nanny for Alexa looking after her granddaughter Fay as they travel to Australia. Molly really likes Alexa and she meets lots of people during her time working her that end up playing important roles in Molly’s life. We follow Molly’s life as she travels with the circus. Molly falls pregnant and nearly dies during a difficult birth but nothing keeps Molly down for long. I enjoyed reading this book with lots of great characters that draw you into the story.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Molly's journey, doing so much with her life, going to Australia, where she met Nancy, who didn’t have an easy life, but became friends and together, after facing tough times, they got happiness.

The characters were lovely, the story kept you engrossed.

I highly recommend this book.

A really good read. I thoroughly enjoyed following Molly's journey she packed such a lot into her life, travelling to Australia where she met Nancy whose life was so hard but they became the best of friends and they both had many struggles to overcome before they would find the happiness they deserved. The story was fantastic it had some great characters and was full of fun, warmth, charm and very emotional at times I really enjoyed it

This book was previously published as Molly Sparks and in ebook as Molly's Journey.

At just eighteen, she is leaving her convent school in the heart of rural Kent to accompany the formidable Mrs Alexa Nagel on a tour of Australia., acting as her companion and nursemaid to Alex's motherless granddaughter, Fay. After a long voyage at sea, they finally arrive in New South Wales. Living in rural Australia and far away from everything she knows, Molly is forced to do some rapid growing up. Fascinated by a cool laconic stockman, Molly is heartbroken when he tells her he is about to return to his native Denmark. Desperate to forget him, she turns her attentions to Rory Kelly, z circus acrobat. Will Molly flout convention and be tempted by the romance of a circus life.

We follow young Molly's journey from the UK to Australia and her hopes and dreams of romance. The characters are well developed and likeable. Molly is a nursemaid to Alexa Nagel's granddaughter, Fay. This is a well written piece of historical fiction. Living in rural Australia is different to what Molly was used to, and Molly has to quickly grow up. I really liked Molly and I felt for her when she got her heartbroken. I quickly flew through the pages of this easy to read book.

I would like to thank #NetGalley #BonnierBooks #Zaffre and the author #SheilaNewberry for my ARC of #TheNursemaidsJourney in exchange for an honest review.

The story starts in 1906 and spans many years and two continents. I loved everything about this book, the details and descriptions made me feel as if I was on the long arduous journey to Australia. I particularly liked the love aspect which didn't dominate the book. but certainly added to the enjoyment for me.

I really loved it. There were a few twists and turns and ny heart went out to Molly and her friends as they adventured across the world.

It was lovely to settle down with this Sheila Newberry novel nice, no bad language or nasty bits.

I will look for more of SNs.

Thanks Netgalley.co.uk for my ARC.

I just loved this book from the beginning, it was a journey that travelled from the UK to Australia, Mollys excitement and worries of what to expect from the journey, love and friendship and excitement. Just loved the read.
As always my thanks to NetGalley and Bonnier Books Uk, Zaffre for the early read

Absolutely loved this book. An historical journey from the UK to Australia following Molly’s up and downs, hopes and dreams. A brilliant family saga.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in return for an honest review.

I’ll start by being honest, I found this book confusing, it seemed to jump about too much.
I found it a long drawn out read, I had to make myself finish it, mainly because someone has put all their time and energy into writing it.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Nursemaid's Journey, it was a journey, as we travelled from the UK to Australia. Great mix of characters with a few sad twists along the way.

A good historical fiction featuring well developed and interesting characters. It kept me reading and i liked the vivid historical background and the setting.
Recommended.
