Kate Grenville’s latest bestselling novel, now in a beautiful paperback edition
Reviews with the most likes.
While I always enjoy an author giving voice and agency to a marginalised unheard historical figure - I was disappointed with the lack of depth and development of Granville's Elizabeth MacArthur. I didn't feel the connection- and while I admired her tenacity and drive in the face of a completely male dominated society- I wish Granville explored more of her inner workings - her fears, joy and sorrow. I wanted to know her better.
