Publisher's Summary

They say no one from the convict settlement of Sydney Town crossed the steep ranges of the Blue Mountains until 1813. But the quick-witted convict Clancy Fitzgerald did it in 1798, dragging with him the proud - but reluctant - Eliza Philips. Faced with constant danger and wrenching isolation, Clancy and Eliza found themselves pale-skinned strangers in a land of ancient traditions and spiritual beliefs.

A Grand Story and History Lesson.

Having lived in the Lithgow area for over 20 years, I could picture the places Clancy was discovering. The next time I travel The Bells Line of Road, I will view Mt Tomah with a knowing smile!

Enjoyable tale set in an extraordinary time

If you ever wondered about life as an early settler and how convicts got on when they started out with so little. Here is a tale that makes you squirm through Sydney's racial, religious and societal history when contrasted against aboriginal life. Easy listening and very well read.

Engrossing Saga

This book and its sequel is a saga set mostly in the Australian outback with some amazing and believable characters. The narration is great, especially given the many characters involved. I found the book to be engrossing and totally believable from the start. I greatly admire the skill of the author and the narrator. I strongly recommend this book and its sequel Kalinda

Hooked after the first hour

Anyway combination of historic fact and diction. Great storytelling. Some parts were grilling. Would love to see this made into a movie

Ok

It was ok. Enjoyed the listen. Narration was ordinary. Narrative was ok but the dialogue was comical at best cringey and annoying at worst - it just didn’t fit the characters. Not that it was particularly well written dialogue to start with. Enjoyed the historical aspects.
