This 200-year saga (1790 – 1990) is a close-to-true novel that began with a criminal family in England, another in Scotland, and a family of nobles in Ireland.It is the story of how they came to be in Australia and how the progress of convicts and aristocrats resulted in the SABLE siblings of Western Australia.
Follow the trail of the Waddell Scots and the Irish Morrises who battle the hostile elements of Northern Tasmania as early settlers. Distant neighbours at first, the two clans cross paths while their descendants become close neighbours in inner-suburban Melbourne; but it takes almost 200 years before two descendants, one from each clan, meet and marry in Fremantle, Western Australia.
On the journey, rub shoulders with governors, prime ministers, scoundrels, soldiers, swagmen and heroes. Find out the fate of the Latvian Andrej Namnik as his life, depicted in “The Bear and The Diva” (the author’s previous novel) carries on.
