The Trader's Reward

The Traders, Book 5

By: Anna Jacobs

Narrated by: Peter Wickham

1871. When Fergus Deagan's wife dies in childbirth, she makes him promise to take their family to Western Australia to join his brother Bram, also to marry again. She's right. His young sons and newborn daughter do need a mother's love and he needs something different.
Disowned by her father for becoming pregnant, Cara Payton bears a stillborn baby. She's in deep despair, until a plea to wetnurse a motherless baby gives her life new purpose. When Fergus proposes marriage, she accepts. She respects him and is happy to stay with the baby she now loves.
During the voyage to Australia, she and Fergus draw closer. Then her past rears its ugly head and they face a terrible crisis.
When they finally get to Fremantle, Fergus and Bram, always rivals, struggle to make friends. To make matters worse, Bram has financial problems and there is no railway where Fergus can find engineering work. Can the two brothers solve their problems? Will the newcomers find a way to build a new life?

Epic end to a lovely book series.

This fifth book to the series is just as fascinating as the other four. Will miss these people who seem like old friends. They changed the narrator so was kind of sad as the other books had the same one. But was able to get right into the story and did not effect my enjoyment. Been hooked on Anna Jacobs books. She can tell a wonderful story.

Love love love

I love this whole series very much one of my favourites. I think it ended very nicely and I’m glad to see the family all come together. I was a little disappointed when the narrator changed but it was still good once I got used to the different voice 😉

just ok

I like this series some sum and the reason is the narrators for the ones before but this one the narrator was just no good everyone sounds old and the ending was no good it didn't deserve my credit
