Kate Grenville has written a poignant historical novel about a lonely heart lost amidst a vast ocean, about love and tenderness breaking the shell of loneliness, and about cherishing relationships with those close to nature and the land on which one has lived for centuries. In 1788, colonists landed on the coast of Australia with guns and unshakeable faith in the omnipotence of the British Empire. And with them - Lieutenant Daniel Rook. In his younger years - an outsider and mathematical prodigy, and now a brilliant astronomer and meteorologist, he has another undeniable talent: he has no problem communicating with the natives. Next to him is a charming local girl, Tagaran. Together with her he easily bridges the language and cultural gap. But does such communication need white settlers, claiming the richest lands of New South Wales? The novel is based on the notebooks of Lt. William Dawes, an officer in the Royal Marines.
