I listened to The Secret River on audio, and I was sorry when it was over. The story of the early English settlement of Australia is told through the life of an English beggar and condemned man who receives a gubernatorial pardon and free passage to Sydney -- along with thousands of others of England's poor. I can see why the Australian's love Kate Grenville: the story is vividly drawn and translated well into audio.

Loved this book
A wonderful summary of new beginnings in a new land encased in a hard to put down novel. This story is of a convict's freedom in a new land and his obsession for land. A clash of cultures ending in tragedy.
