It covers well-known historical facts and events – such as the appalling effect of European illnesses on Australia’s First People the relatively low death rate on the First Fleet compared to the second and third the near starvation of the fledgling colony and the spearing of the first governor – as well as well-known historical figures, such as Bennelong, Phillip and Tench, and introduces us to lesser-known figures in Rachel Turner, Nanberry and Surgeon White. Nanberry: black brother white (not too sure how to capitalise that.?), follows the events at Sydney Cove from 1788 to 1800 and then a little bit at 1823.

And, unlike other books that try to do many things at once, all the many themes are executed well. Oh, and it's also one of the most diverse books I've ever read. It's about coming to terms with ones sexuality, it's about friendship, it's about memory and forgetting, it's a love story, and it's about choosing to be happy, despite the sad. Because this book is an overlapping of several stories and themes, each one as powerful as the last. ![]() Personally, I do not think the promised big twist is particularly hard to guess if you've read the description and seen the movie this is being compared to, but I don't think much hangs on it anyway.
