A pitch-perfect rural romance from the bestselling author of Magpie’s Bend, we have 17 copies of the new must-read from Maya Linnell, Paperbark Hill.

‘When a new Maya Linnell novel lands in the office, we pretty much draw the curtains and shut up shop until it’s read.’ Australian Country on Magpie’s Bend.

Diana McIntyre and her four boys have had a tough eighteen months but with the love and support of her family, she believes their lives are finally back on track. Diana’s dream of starting a flower farm has been the perfect diversion, with an elderly dahlia expert showing her the ropes. She won’t have to do this alone.

Locum pharmacist and single dad Ned Gardiner hasn’t called Victoria home for years. However his father’s death forces Ned to return to the family farm, a place that holds few happy memories for him. Dealing with his estranged mother and sorting his father’s affairs, he plans on leaving as soon as possible, but what will it take for Ned to put down roots?

With six children between them, can this pair juggle families, farms and an unlooked-for romance?

‘Maya Linnell knows how to tug on our heartstrings, with just the right dollop of reality . . . I couldn’t put it down.’ Catriona Rowntree on Magpie’s Bend.

‘Linnell brings a good deal of authenticity and humour to her story . . . an enjoyable tale about romance, family and dealing with change.’ Canberra Weekly Magazine.

  • I haven’t had a good read in ages…..Life got in the way. This looks like a great place to start


  • I’m currently reading Maya Linnell’s debut book Wildflower Ridge and thoroughly enjoying it, I’d love win a copy of Paperbark Hill as I’m assuming it’s a follow on as both books have a character Diana McIntyre with 4 boys!


  • I’ve read enough who dunnits for this year! I’m ready for a family story that exudes country charm in an area I can relate, that has loveable characters and will leave me with a smile.


  • I love to read stories set in Australia written by Aussies. I love tot pass the books on to others once I have read it. This would be a great addition to my new Community Library bookshelf!


  • Mum is a country girl, she loves baking, rural life, romance and a “good story”. She relates to Maya and her stories and Paperbark Hill ticks all her boxes for what she considers a great story. Reading and discussing it will put a gorgeous smile on both of our faces.


  • With all the drama in my life, and in the world, would love to spend a few hours being uplifted and moved by reading Paperbark Hill, reading a good always helps me find my happy place.


  • It is unlike any other book I’ve read


  • Romance with six children? I want to know if they get a nobel peace price. If it works they deserve it.


  • My Mother loves a good romance novel. This will keep her busy whilst Dad is at his Dialysis appointments.


  • The perfect escape for mum over the school holidays! Its nice to see modern family structures still being included in romance.


  • Always looking for the next “can’t put it down” book. This book sounds like the one.


  • WOuld love to win this and give it to my wife for a “just because” gift


  • I get less and less time to read these days with work and young kids, but when I do I like to have a page turner that keeps me entertained throughout. This sounds just like that!


  • Love romance stories and with the school holidays starting today this book would be awesome so i can zone out while the kids play and de stress for a little while


  • Un-looked for romance? Yes please.!


  • I’ve been estranged from my mother in the past so I can relate to that part of the story and it would be nice to read about something with a similar story to mine.


  • I love reading local stories it’s so nice to relate to where they are talking about.


  • I love a great Australian novel set in the bush. This author Maya Linnell is new to me but I love Karla Lane so I’m sure this will be a relaxed easy read.


  • I can afford books And this is not at the library


  • I need something to read that is light & bright to warm me up this winter!
