Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. General wear to book corners and edges. Some denting at spine tail. Creasing to front and back cover. Interior is very good. Sunning of pages.

In 1806 William Thornhill, a man of quick temper and deep feelings is transported from the slums of London to New South Wales for the term of his natural life. With his wife Sal and their children, he arrives in a harsh land he cannot understand. But the colony can turn a convict into a free man.

Eight years later Thornhill sails up the Hawkesbury to claim a hundred acres for himself. Aboriginal people already live on that river. And other recent arrivals—Thomas Blackwood, Smasher Sullivan and Mrs Herring—are finding their own ways to respond to them.

Thornhill, a man neither better nor worse than most, soon has to make the most difficult choice of his life.

Inspired by Grenville's research into her own family history. (back cover)
