Sarah Thornhill by Kate Grenville, Text Publishing, $39.95
The daughter of convicts, Sarah Thornhill has grown up a comparatively wealthy young woman on the banks of the Hawkesbury River in the Colony of New South Wales.
But a mysterious missing brother, the strange behaviour of her father, and a thwarted love affair will lead her to discover the awful secret at the foundation of her family’s comfortable life.
Sarah Thornhill is a beautifully told story of early Australia, and the triumphs and struggles of its convicts, free settlers, and aborigines.
It’s the sequel to The Secret River so if you really love someone why not buy them both?
