A richly evocative piece of historical fiction...beautifully written. <em>Good Weekend</em></p><p>Elizabeth Macquarie, widow of the disgraced former Governor of New South Wales, Lachlan Macquarie, is in mourning - not only for her husband, but the loss of their shared dream to transform the penal colony into a bright new world. Over the course of one long sleepless night on the windswept isle of Mull, she remembers her life in that wild and strange country; a revolution of ideas as dramatic as any in history; and her dangerous alliance with the brilliant, mercurial Francis Greenway, the colonys maverick architect.</p><p>A stirring, provocative and thrilling novel of passion, ideas, reforming zeal and desire.</p><p>Moving, intricate novel ... Every love story has at its heart a vision of inherent human worth in the beloved; Slatterys achievement is to render, subtly and powerfully both a human love story, and a love story to the nation. Anna Funder, author of <em>All That I Am</em></p><p>A remarkable early 19th century heroine comes alive for us in this story: we share Mrs M.s thoughts and feelings in almost uncanny fashion.

There is a kind of clarion certainty to her ... I think readers will be swept up by this creation. The narrative would grab me with moments of exquisite cadence and perfect emotional truth ... Told in Elizabeths voice, and seen through her eyes, the sensuous descriptions of her Scotland and her Sydney - as well as her own inner world - rise off the page with a poets perfect pitch. <em>The Australian</em></p><p>Saul Bellow says somewhere that in fiction sentences should be charged - something should quietly beat through them. When one begins reading this is what you should listen for - imaginative confidence, a sense of sureness. This applies to historical fiction as much as any other.
