TOMMO & HAWK

Master storyteller Bryce Courtenay begins an epic tale of bravery, love and adventure - and the unbreakable bond shared by two brothers ... The time is the 1850s, during the savage founding years of Britain's wildest and farthest flung colonies. The place is Hobart Town, a tiny speck of civilization clinging to the southernmost tip of Tasmania. It is here that twin brothers Tommo and Hawk Solomon are finally reunited after years of anguished separation. Both men still struggle to escape the horrors of their past. Yet both are ready for the harsh new challenges which will finally forge their destiny. From whale hunting in the wild Pacific to the horrors of the Maori wars in New Zealand, from the Rocks in Sydney to the miners' riots in the goldfields, they will fight side by side to save the love they cherish most. Tommo and Hawk is the brilliant new novel from one of the world's greatest storytellers.
