The Secret River

The Secret River

by Kate Grenville

  • LITERATURE
  • 2007
  • PAPER
  • 334 PAGES

Sweeping, gorgeously written and psychologically astute, The Secret River takes in all the bravado, trickery and conflict that attended the settlement of New South Wales. Grenville draws on the history of her own family in Australia for the elements of the blockbuster plot, in which a Thames boatsman, banished to the penal colony in 1806, must carve out a life for himself.  (AUS179, $14.00)
