Grenville's skill is to turn what could have been too obviously a representative moral fable into a rich novel of character.

Grenville, as ever, describes an Australia so overwhelmingly beautiful that readers will lust after its sunbaked soul too.

We have had to wait five years for The Secret River but the wait has been worth it... Splendidly paced, passionate and disturbing.
