The Times
Grenville is one of Australia's most popular writers, and this novel is a triumph. Read it at once.
Daily Telegraph
Grenville has brought imagination and compassion to the source of so much of Australia's retroactive hand-wringing.
Guardian
She occupies the mind of Rooke with a kind of vivid insistence, and his isolation - and moral dilemmas - become ours.
Sunday Telegraph
A deft historical tale of discovery.
As a boy, Daniel Rooke was always an outsider. At school, he learned to hide his clever thoughts from his cruel peers; at home, his parents were bemused by their bookish son. Daniel could only hope - against all the evidence - that he would one day find his place in life. By 1788, Daniel has become Lieutenant Rooke, astronomer with the First Fleet as it lands on the unknown shores of New South Wales. As the newcomers struggle to establish a settlement for themselves and their cargo of convicts, and attempts are made to communicate with those who already inhabit this land, Rooke sets up his observatory to chart the stars. But the place where they have landed will prove far more revelatory than the night sky. Out on his isolated point, Rooke comes to know the local Aboriginal people, and forges a remarkable connection with one child, which will change his life in ways he never imagined.
