|summary=Expectations ahead of Thomas Keneally's 'The Daughters of Mars' are understandably high. He regularly features on the Booker shortlist and has won the prize in the past with ''Shindler's Ark''. While his subject matter, World War I, is hardly the most original, his slant on the story is, and this is a book that deserves to sit with the very best of the many books on that subject, including ''All Quiet on the Western Front'' and ''Birdsong''. It's that good and that powerful.
