The Duffy daughter, Kate, lives in Sydney with her aunt and uncle and her brother Michael. Michael meets Fiona McIntosh and there are romantic sparks. But Michael is not good enough for the McIntosh family and he is a Duffy, so there is no way this relationship can be permitted to develop.
Peter Watt has done a great job of portraying the life of the people in 19th century Australia. He includes shocking descriptions of the dispersals of Aboriginals and collection of indentured workers from the islands. The life of the privileged, and life on the frontier. Also, he doesn't shy away from the sexual depravity of some of the characters.
A really good read. I'm rooting for the Duffys. ( )
