Excerpts from emails sent to Peter Watt
‘May I congratulate you on your wonderful storytelling. Like everyone that reads your books, once I start reading, I can’t put them down.’
‘Well done on a bloody good yarn.’
‘Thank you for your great novels and the history lessons of my country.’
‘I have enjoyed reading all of your books but I reckon your latest is the best so far. A ripper read.’
‘Australia is lucky to have such a great writer.’
‘I love the level of humour, romance, camaraderie, adventure and I truly get lost in them.’
‘I was impressed with your research and the way you describe the plight and spirituality of the Aboriginal tribes. You are an amazing storyteller.’
‘The power of your words, your insights and observations, and the emotions I feel reading your book, is something I haven’t felt since reading Tolstoy as a 17 year old . . . finally, someone is writing about Australia, Australians and putting our Aboriginal history into a narrative form that is truthful, insightful and simply the best historical fiction I have had the pleasure to read.’
‘Thank you for the wonderful characters you have created, both horrid and loveable.’
This is a work of fiction. Characters, institutions and organisations mentioned in this novel are either the product of the author’s imagination or, if real, used fictitiously without any intent to describe actual conduct.
