FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE-SHORTLISTED AND WOMEN'S PRIZE-WINNING AUSTRALIAN NOVELIST
Sarah is the youngest daughter of William Thornhill, a ruthless man who made a life for himself and his family in New South Wales after being sentenced from England. When Sarah finds true love with Jack, an older boy with mixed ancestry, she also encounters disapproval: someone in her family will not tolerate their relationship.
The reason lies in both the past and the present, and it will take Sarah across an ocean, to a place she never imagined she would go, to discover if her love is ever going to be enough.

Reviews for Sarah Thornhill
Gripping and illuminating
Diana Athill A graceful, passionate story of love, loss and treacherous family histories
Marie Claire
Her description of the harshly beautiful Australian landscape is unforgettable, more poetry than prose
Guardian
Grenville has emerged not only as the truth-teller but also something of a hero . . . her novels are important quests that go beyond art
Irish Times
It will wrench your heart
Guardian
Kate Grenville is one of Australia's finest writers . . . her great skill as a writer is to take the barest of biographical details and spin them into something of intricate moral complexity
Telegraph
Grenville inhabits characters with a rare completeness . . . She writes with a poet's sense of rhythm and imagery
Guardian
I will thrilled to find myslf back beside the river I'd come to know so well in The Secret River. The power with which Kate Grenville evokes places and people is so remarkable that I could remember the smell of the air there - and it was no surprise to discover that Sarah Thornhill's story is gripping and illuminating as her father's was
Diana Athill Both brilliant fiction and illuminating personal history
Independent
This is a novel that stands by itself and that will be treasured, I'm sure, by generations to come. It is that rare book that manages to wholly engage both head and heart, and it's a long time since I've been quite so sorry to say goodbye to a character at the end of a book as I was saying goodbye to Sarah
