*NEW NOVEL RESTLESS DOLLY MAUNDER SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN’S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2024*
FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE-SHORTLISTED AND WOMEN’S PRIZE-WINNING AUSTRALIAN NOVELIST

Sarah is the youngest daughter of William Thornhill, a ruthless man who made a life for himself and his family in New South Wales after being sentenced from England. When Sarah finds true love with Jack, an older boy with mixed ancestry, she also encounters disapproval: someone in her family will not tolerate their relationship.

The reason lies in both the past and the present, and it will take Sarah across an ocean, to a place she never imagined she would go, to discover if her love is ever going to be enough.

Commentaires

"Grenville inhabits characters with a rare completeness . . . She writes with a poet's sense of rhythm and imagery"
"Here is someone who can really write" (Peter Carey)
"I was thrilled to find myself back beside the river I'd come to know so well in The Secret River. The power with which Kate Grenville evokes places and people is so remarkable that I could remember the smell of the air there - and it was no surprise to discover that Sarah Thornhill's story is as gripping and illuminating as her father's was" (Diana Athill)
"A graceful, passionate story of love, loss and treacherous family histories."
"Beautifully written."
"Be warned: [Sarah Thornhill] will wrench your heart ... Grenville's description of the harshly beautiful Australian landscape is unforgettable, more poetry than prose."
"Immensely readable"
"Both brilliant fiction and illuminating personal history" (Arifa Akbar)
"This powerful saga of colliding histories blends romance and honesty" (Mary Shine Thompson)
"It is with often marvellous vividness and clarity that Grenville evokes Sarah's world [she] is well inhabited by her creator, and through the eyes of this young woman, the physical and cultural strangenesses of a nation still clambering into existence spring richly to life" (Belinda McKeon)
"Her voice has an attractive personality and proves adept at describing the landscape and those who struggle to survive in its unforgiving beauty"
"Kate Grenville has completed her trilogy with another enthralling tale" (Ion Trewin)
"Richly wrapped in language so colourful and lively, you can taste it" (Tom Adair)
