If Blood Should Stain the Wattle is a 1947 Australian novel by Ailsa Craig.[1]
It was described as "A story of domestic conflict in a country setting. Told with quiet, but compelling power in the manner of Daphne du Maurier."[2]
The novel was serialised in the Sydney Morning Herald.[3][4][5]
The Argus said "would be better if some of the propaganda were more subtle."[6]
The Weekly Times said Craig's "style is impressive and she writes convincingly about country scenes with which she is familiar."[7]
The Age said "This book makes entertaining reading, although it is written fulsomely, with some characters trite and others unconvincing."[8]
