By Kate Grenville

Kate Grenville's wonderfully irreverent novel rewrites 200-odd years of Australia's past. Joan is a wife and mother of no great distinction, but in the life of her imagination she is in the front line of events effortlessly subverting the solemnity of momentous occasions and cheerfully altering the course of history.
