Description

Colleen McCullough's most gripping saga since „Birds die alone“!

An unforgettable saga filled with tragedy, love and passion.

Alexander Kinross, known in Scotland as a pauper and a mad head, quickly became rich in his new homeland of Australia. One day he sends a letter home announcing his desire to marry.

Sixteen-year-old Elizabeth Drummond took the long journey to Sydney to meet her future husband. There she is horrified to discover that Alexander frightens and terrifies her. Left with no choice, she marries him and is taken to the wild countryside, to a town owned by her husband that bears his name, Kinross. In the cliffs above the houses lies the richest gold mine in the world.

Few authors can, like McCullough, convey the desperate striving of people in an unfamiliar land to create a new beginning.
