Brutally kidnapped and separated in childhood, Tommo and Hawk are reunited at the age of 15 in Hobart Town.

Together they escape their troubled pasts and set off on a journey into manhood. From whale hunting in the Pacific to the Maori Wars of New Zealand, from the Rocks in Sydney to the miners' riots at the goldfields, Tommo and Hawk must learn each other's strengths and weaknesses in order to survive.

Along the way, Hawk meets the outrageous Maggie Pye, who brings love and laughter into his life. But the demons of Tommo's past return to haunt the brothers. With Tommo at his side, Hawk takes on a fight against all odds to save what they cherish most.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"Narrator Humphrey Bower captures each character, making listeners forget that one majestic voice creates the various natives, the Irish, the English, and people of all ages. Few will fail to be enthralled by this adventure saga, which skillfully captures history while keeping listeners glued to their earphones." ( Audiofile)

It's always slightly risky to listen to the second of a trilogy when the first has made such an impact. If anything, I was more captivated by this than 'The Potato Factory'. I love the characterisations, the fact that I can't predict what's coming next, that it's a really well-told tale. And again, of course, Humphrey Bower is magic.

As good as the first!

I didn't know if I'd like this book. Being the follow-up to The Potato Factory I thought I may have had enough of this story.

Expertly told by Bryce Courtenay, this follows the growing up of Tommo & Hawk and the trials and tribulations of whale fishing, wars against the British in New Zealand, opium addiction, bare fist fighting, racism, sexism, prostitution... all in a days work for Bryce.

The clever use of each character having their own chapters helped you to explore the two different personalities.

The story flowed effortlessly and was superbly narrated, as always, by Humphrey Bower. You felt you were in the characters head.

Nicely left at the end for a sequel.

A pleasant surprise

Once again a 5 star rating. Different place and different time, but new adventures and truly amazing characteristics once again. Can't wait to get the last book!

Fantastic in a different way than book 1

Bryce Courtenay writes the most engaging stories and this follows on from his previous novels and is fascinating. The characters are so well portrayed you feel like you know them and the attention to detail regarding their lives as they would have been at that time is excellent. Highly recommended.

Fabulous as always
