This story is set in London, 1807. William Thornhill, happily wedded to his childhood sweetheart Sal, is a waterman on the River Thames. Life is tough but bearable until William makes a mistake, a bad mistake for which he and his family are made to pay dearly.

The Thornhills arrive in this harsh and alien land that they cannot understand and which feels like a death sentence. But, among the convicts there is a rumour that freedom can be bought, that 'unclaimed' land up the Hawkesbury offers an opportunity to start afresh, far away from the township of Sydney. When William takes a hundred acres for himself, he is shocked to find Aboriginal people already living on the river.

Soon Thornhill, a man neither better nor worse than most, has to make the most difficult decision of his life...

很有意思的一本书。没有传统意义的对错之分,只是一群可怜人为了生存而战。争执的对象是土地,与人类息息相关的资源。以索尼尔为代表的流放犯和澳大利亚土著人争夺土地。最后自诩为“文明人”的殖民者虽然胜利了,却用余生去忏悔曾经的屠杀和掠夺。而且夺得了土地不意味着消灭...
評分作为小说,很纯粹,如果不想动脑子,那么就顺着那条河流一直漂浮. 从英国到澳大利亚,变化的不只是经纬,还有关于人生的思考.是非之地或许,但是谁知道呢. 土著和移民,一定是对立的么,我看到了别的. 总之是很精彩.
