The Fatal Shore : The Epic of Australia's Founding
by Robert Hughes
Amazon.com writes "An extraordinary volume - even a masterpiece - about
the early history of Australia that reads like the finest of novels. Hughes
captures everything in this complex tableau with narrative finesse that
drives the reader ever-deeper into specific facts and greater understanding.
He presents compassionate understanding of the plights of colonists - both
freemen and convicts - and the Aboriginal peoples they displaced. One of
the very best works of history I have ever read."

The
Road from Coorain
by Jill Ker Conway
There is a clarity, elegance, and beauty to Conway's Road to Coorain
that places it firmly at the apogee of autobiography along with such masterpieces
as West With the Night by Beryl Markham, or An American Childhood, by Annie
Dillard. From the first sentence, you will be drawn inexorably into the
story of her childhood in New South Wales, Australia, and her gradual discovery
of--and by--the larger world: the clarity of Conway's language satisfies
like cold clear water after a day in the desert: the rhythm of her sentences
has a timelessness and expansiveness akin to the Australian landscape itself.
This is very likely a book you will remember the rest of your life. Highly
Recommended. - Amazon.com
From the shelter of a protective family, to the lessons of tragedy
and independence, this is an indelible portrait of a harsh and beautiful
country and the inspiring story of a remarkable woman's life.
