Title: More than just an Australian story
Product review: I am Australian and went through school being bored to death by Australian history. If only we had had this book to read when learning about convicts and first contact in high school. This book is beautifully written and doesn't pull any punches in regard to describing the beginnings of white settlement in Australia. While the character of Thornhill can be seen as representative of white Australia as a whole, I think the themes of the story are also very universal ones and have a lot to tell us about human nature more generally. What a wonderful writer Kate Grenville is.
