Notebook Magazine A powerful tale about survival, loyalty and conflict
Doubleday Entertainment, Australia With all the drama, adventure and larger-than-life characters that made Lands Beyond The Sea addictive reading, Tamara McKinley returns with another rollicking ride through Australia's colonial past.
Weaving together four story strands into a sumptuously satisfying epic, she explores the journeys of pioneers, warriors, families and lovers as they fight for their futures. For Irish convict Niall, the battle is for freedom, while Aboriginal boy Mandawuy must decide to join the white men, or rebel alongside his own kind. Will George fight for the love of a woman married to another? And how can Nell and Alice overcome their enmity in order to survive?
This is a saga that satisfies to the end.
