The Lieutenant by Kate Grenville

5.0

Another beautiful novel from Kate Grenville. This is the story of an English soldier (who was also an astronomer) who travels to Australia in the early days of colonialism and forms a friendship with the local Cammeraygal people. It shows how things could have been and also foreshadows the terrible things that were to follow. It is beautiful and heartbreaking at times. But it’s also an important book tells history as it was.
