"The home grown version of Wilbur Smith" The Sunday Age

A stark and vivid novel of Australia's brutal past.

An epic tale of two families, the Macintoshes and the Duffys, who are locked in a deadly battle from the moment squatter Donald Macintosh commits an act of barbarity on his Queensland property.

Their paths cross in love, death and revenge as both families fight to tame the wild frontier of Australia's north country.

The most incredible story. As an Australian - English/Scottish/French/German descendant these books have taught me more about this country we call ours and the people it truly belongs to, our native Aboriginal people. It’s like no history lesson at school. Wish we read these books in class. Fascinating, gut wrenching and real - and the love stories will break your heart. Amazing reading. Start at the start with Cry of the Curlew and make sure you have every other novel of the series on standby. You won’t put these down. Thank you Peter Watt.

Got a copy on a friends recommendation, as her knew I liked early Australian stories. Quite enjoyed it. Some pretty racy content for the era in which it was written. As someone else said, Watt is Australia's equivalent of Wilbur Smith
