a breathtaking and absorbing family saga from the international bestselling author of The Thorn Birds
Omschrijving
It was one of the greatest human experiments ever undertaken: to populate
an unknown land with the criminal, the unloved and the unwanted of English
society. Left to live or die on the hostile Australian continent, these
convicts occupy the centre of Colleen McCullough's compelling new epic.
A thoroughly researched historical saga rich in romance, adventure and
unforgettable characters. Amid conditions of brutality that paralleled that of slavery, 'The First Fleet' was sent to a place no European but the legendary Captain Cook had ever seen. Left to live or die on the hostile Australian continent, these convicts and their equally isolated guards occupy the centre of this epic.
