“With its depth of humanity and its breadth of vision this stirring sequel to Forever to Remain will seize the imagination of romantic and realist alike.  For, against a setting firmly based on historical fact, is told a story both poignant and brutal, tragic and gay.
Governor Stirling, with his colonists near to starvation, has a grimly difficult task in the first years of settlement in Western Australia.  The faint-hearted have returned to England; those who remain continue the struggle for survival in this stubborn unknown land – among them the high-born adventurer Simon Lee Challimor and his wife Penelope, lovely daughter of the inn-keeper Martha Gubby.”
