4.0 out of 5 starsA true Aussie outback tale 4.5*
Reviewed in Australia on 28 December 2018
A very Aussie bush tale with one very independent Cressy. A town full of secrets & some that haunt Denham that he won't commit to his true love. There's a lot of push pull going on perhaps some a bit repetitious.
The scene for this tale is set beautifully with the Aussie outback, even with its worst, being drought.
A bit of Aussie humour with the knitters & the friendly cantankerous bull but also focus on something quite upsetting with our male farmers.
A genuine Aussie tale one that would appeal to many.

A warm, gripping story with wonderful word pictures of cattle, dry grass and rodeos. I just had to keep reading to see who ended up with who.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure feel-good reading
Reviewed in Australia on 23 January 2017
Thw Long Paddock resonates so well for me. Alissa Callen has captured the heart of the country and woven it into a captivating story of love, hope and persistence against the odds.
So many events depicted in this story have clearly been drawn from real life and from a strong understanding of life on the land. Alissa Callen has touched on the subjects of rural mental health, drought and the hardship it brings, and also that wonderful sense of community that is so much a part of small country town living.
There's a good deal of warmth and humour in this novel delivered through both the genuine concern characters display for each other and through the quirky yarn bombing that pops up nearly every time Cressy pops into town.
This book has brought me smiles and moments where I have really connected with the characters or smiled at those familiar small town events and the way everyone pulls together to make them a success. For pure feel-good reading you'd be hard pressed to go past Alissa Callen. I just loved this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars As an Aussie, I loved reading this book
Reviewed in Australia on 12 October 2019
I have given 5 stars because I could not put this book down.
The characters are real but I do have one concern.
I know Americans greet each other by saying “hey” but we don’t.
Stay true to yourself Alissa.
