24.01.2022 And: 'A compelling family saga - telling, like never before, the story of one of Australia's most extraordinary families'. Professor Tim Bonyhady, author of Good Living Street: The Fortunes of my Viennese Family

23.01.2022 I have also had some reviews, which I add here: The author skilfully interweaves fact and fiction to create a vivid and engaging narrative. The novel’s strengths lie in its depiction of the personal stories and human frailties behind the political career of Henry Parkes, and in its portrayal of the courage and resilience of the women in his life, notably his wife Clarinda.
