Solomon's Song

ISBN-13:9780143004585
"This is the story of two families – branches of the Solomons – transported to an alien land, both of whom eventually grow rich and powerful but who, through three generations, never for one moment relinquish their hatred for each other.
It is also the story of our country from the beginning until we came of age as a nation. I have learned a great deal about Australia and those things which concern us as a people and make us, in many ways, who we are today.
To write this book, I visited Gallipoli and came away deeply saddened by the terrible waste of our young blood. We would never be quite the same again. It has been a grand adventure and I hope that you will find Solomon's Song a good and powerful story. No writer can possibly hope for more. " - Bryce Courtenay

    One of the most deeply moving books I have ever read. The imagery is intense and leaves you hooked until the very last word, which upon you are left aching for more. Just one more of Bryce Courtenay's great successes!
