Told with great force, it is a narrative of great suffering - of whips, chains, and man's inhumanity. There is no attempt to soften the truth of degradation and dark cruelty in convict Australia. And yet this novel is filled with life, and peopled with vivid characters. Rufus Dawes, condemned to transportation for a crime he did not commit, is one of the most unforgettable characters in Australian literature.
