The Woman in the Green Dress by Tea Cooper is a historical novel told with alternating points-of-view. The main POVs are Fleur Richards from 1918, Della who lives on a farm in Mogo Creek in 1853, and Stefan von Richter in 1853. I had trouble with the alternating point-of-view. When it jumps around, I cannot get into the story (and it is confusing in the beginning). The second half of the story was better and easier to read. The Woman in the Green Dress is what I call a slow starter. I would have liked a better introduction to our main characters instead of just thrown into the story. The Woman in the Green Dress has Fleur Richards wanting to learn more about her husband, Hugh. They married quickly and then he was off to fight. She had no idea that he had property in Australia. When Fleur arrives in Australia, she sets out to learn about Hugh Richards and his family. I like how everything tied together in the end. The Woman in the Green Dress has a good premise, but I wanted more depth, feeling, and details. The Woman in the Green Dress is a story about greed, deceit, murder, jealousy, taxidermy, secrets, a curio shop, a cursed opal, and one determined woman.
