Her illicit memoir tells of her life in a village in the far north of Australia ruled by a strict patriarchy , and her life with Jude, a fugitive from a matriarchal settlement in the south.In failing health and tired of writing fawning hagiographies for the Palace, Susan races to write the story of her life in Patria Nullius. She is aided by Lochinvar Quoit, a self-serving Palace functionary who forces her into a deadly bargain. Will she complete her story before her arrest?The author writes with a spare beauty. The characters were intriguing, the structure of the book just right for the telling of this fascinating story. Highly recommend it. (Amazon UK 5-star review)
