The Mind's Own Place: A Novel by Ian Reid

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Tail edge of a couple of pages have been bent back.

Though fictional, The Mind's Own Place is partly based on the actual experiences of historical figures: a pair of convicts from respectable backgrounds, talented and enterprising but troubled; two female immigrants, free settlers, not equally fortunate or resilient; and the first detective in Western Australia, who eventually uncovers more than he intends.
