THE FAR HORIZON
In this sequel to BY EASTERN WINDOWS George Jarvis is now a young man, and with him we travel to a wilderness on the other side of the world and witness the rise to greatness of Lachlan Macquarie who, with extraordinary intelligence and a deep compassion for the inhabitants, turned a neglected convict colony into a country, and named it Australia.
New South Wales, a convict colony peopled with characters from all walks of life, and all places in the British Isles, who find themselves banished to the Antipodes for crimes often no greater than fishing in a neighbour’s stream, or pilfering a strip of ribbon from their mistress’s sewing basket.
And it is amongst these unlucky people that George Jarvis meets the girl of his dreams, and teaches her about the goodness of life.
