Sarah is the youngest daughter of William Thornhill, a ruthless man who made a life for himself and his family in New South Wales after being sentenced from England. When Sarah finds true love with Jack, an older boy with mixed ancestry, she also encounters disapproval: someone in her family will not tolerate their relationship.
The reason lies in both the past and the present, and it will take Sarah across an ocean, to a place she never imagined she would go, to discover if her love is ever going to be enough.©2012 Kate Grenville (P)2012 Canongate Books

Would you listen to Sarah Thornhill again? Why?
I felt myself walking along not wanting to miss even one sentence Sarah Thornhill spoke. So refreshing, the insight of author Kate Grenville into human nature. A fast paced story. The editing is near perfect. The tale is sprinkled with details that cause a smile, anger, concern . . . I was drawn into their lives. Thank you Kate Grenville and especially the reader Emma Fielding. She is just too wonderful.What did you like best about this story?
As the story moved on, the remarks of quirky human foibles were so genuine. The interaction of Emma with her childhood friend Jack (and later lover) was so lovely. The characters were so clearly developed . . . there values, their morality or immorality. These issues were the story, but not in a stuffy way.Which character – as performed by Emma Fielding – was your favorite?
Emma Fielding talked for all characters, but her beautiful Australian speak as she expressed herself as Sarah Thornhill, Oh, her portrayal was beyond convincing. She WAS Sarah Thornhill. There is no empty spaces in this book.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, indeed. Sarah Thornhill became my friend, I loved to listen to her talk (actually Emma Fielding) and felt her moments of emotion, desire to be free, suffer emotional heart ache and disappointment.Any additional comments?
I look forward to Grenville's next story. I am sure she will be a favorite for many.Oh God, the Emotional Joy of this Listen!
