In turn-of-the-century Australia, Tim Shea, supports his young family by running a general store in a remote riverside town, where he finds the same the same hypocrisy and snobbery which made him emigrate from Ireland, and suffers a series of misfortunes which take him to the brink of disaster.

Capturing the spirit of the times, this is the mesmerizing tale of a flawed hero whose stubborn integrity is nearly his undoing.

Industry Reviews

The work of a great storyteller - The Times

A joy to read . . . His skilful prose which seems effortlessly to capture the rhythms and cadences of at least six different emigrant races . . . his essential humanity which enables him to examine misery and horror without ever losing his gift for hope and his old-fashioned insistence on a rattling good plot, crammed full of drama, will ensure the reader is thoroughly entertained - Evening Standard

A masterpiece - Literary Review

Keneally makes us feel, very movingly, the intelligence and imaginative openness that lie deeper than Tim's prejudices and inarticulacies . . . a novel [of] great vitality and charm - The Sunday Times

A remarkably vivid and moving portrayal of a hostile world where good struggles to shine through - Time Out

A great read - Mail on Sunday
