Book Description
================
After a [CENSORED]hood of poverty and petty crime in the slums of London, 
William Thornhill is sentenced in 1806 to be transported to New South 
Wales for the term of his natural life. With his wife Sal and [CENSORED]ren 
in tow, he arrives in a harsh land that feels at first like a death 
sentence. But among the convicts there is a whisper that freedom can 
be bought, an opportunity to start afresh.Away from the infant township 
of Sydney, up the Hawkesbury River, Thornhill encounters men who have 
tried to do just that: Blackwood, who is attempting to reconcile himself 
with the place and its people, and Smasher Williams, whose fear of this 
alien world turns into brutal depravity towards it. As Thornhill and 
his family stake their claim on a patch of ground by the river, the 
battle lines between old and new inhabitants are drawn.The Secret River 
joins a tradition of grand historical fiction that stretches from Thomas 
Keneally's The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith and Peter Carey's True History 
of the Kelly Gang.
