Solomon'S Song

In Solomon's Song master storyteller Bryce Courtenay concludes the epic story of the Solomon family begun in The Potato Factory and continued in Tommo & Hawk. After years of warring among themselves there is still no end in sight to the bitter rivalry of the Solomons. The feud between Mary Abacus and Hannah Solomon which began it all threatens to outlive both women and poison the lives of future generations. Ranging from the middle of the nineteenth century through to the First World War, from Melbourne to Gallipoli, Solomon's Song traces four generations of Solomons and tells how the men and women of one brave family helped shape the birth of a nation. Solomon's Song is a breathtaking work of fiction which brilliantly evokes the lives, hopes and dreams of the first Australians.
