À propos de cet audio

Ikey Solomon is very successful indeed, in the art of thieving. Ikey's partner in crime is his mistress, the forthright Mary Abacus, until misfortune befalls them. They are parted and each must make the harsh journey from 19th century London to Van Diemens Land.

In the backstreets and dives of Hobart Town, Mary learns the art of brewing and builds The Potato Factory, where she plans a new future. But her ambitions are threatened by Ikey's wife, Hannah, her old enemy. The two women raise their separate families. As each woman sets out to destroy the other, the families are brought to the edge of disaster.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"In the tradition of Charles Dickens, Courtenay creates a unique cast of characters from the outset of this epic novel....Humphrey Bower's performance is a marvel...making this one of those rare books with a sweep of characters the readers come to care about deeply." ( AudioFile Magazine)

stunned at how attached to Mr Solomon, Spermwhale Sally, and quite honestly all the cast, I became and how angry I got at the villains. this is how all aspiring writers should approach their trade. in my humble opinion...

An amazing journey. Looking forward to the next book. I love the ambiance of Old London and Tasmania.

I am so impressed and glad: this author knocked it out of the park again. The last book was certainly the strongest in terms of story and conflict, but that's not to say the character building in the first book wasn't enjoyable. I never found myself glazing over any details; I was captivated the entire way through. What a journey! The narrator is extremely talented as well.

Wow

Bryce Courtenay is one of my faves, other than the occasional miss, like Mathew Flinders Cat. the material is very familiar to me, so the excellent narration was critical. I really enjoyed this treatment.

captivating story recounted by the extraordinary and versatile Humphrey Bower. I was a bit wary at first because I was afraid that the book may be anti-Semitic.I am still not sure but I couldn't stop listening. I am about to start on the second book of the trilogy this afternoon.

brilliant performance

Great book! I definitely love this series! The narrator makes it all come to life. It is easy to forget that it is one person narrating when he makes each character come to life on their own.

Absolutely the best narrator!

Such great characters and a great story. I am being very picky but the whole tie in at the end was a bit contrived, although I suppose how else can you finish a book sometimes. Unfortunately not too interested in the next in the series due to the ending of this one with the boys. Great listen otherwise.

Just a fascinating listen
