Beautifully written account of some rather horrific events that involve the author's ancestors in Australia. He frequently acknowledges where he is imagining or creating details to support what he has researched, but this is not disruptive to the flow, but actually enhances the story-telling. This is a compelling story written in elegant prose that was not only difficult to put down, but compels me to read more about this subject and by this author. I visited his web site (danieldaviswood.com) and read his excellent literary criticism, and will read his other books as soon as possible. This is well worth the read, and I will recommend it to colleagues and friends.

A copy was received in exchange for an honest review. ( )
