Lose yourself in the pages of this enthralling Australian saga! Perfect for fans of Colleen McCullough, Kate Grenville, Deborah Challinor and Aaron Fletcher.

Loyalties are torn in 19th-century Australia…

New South Wales, 1839

Jack Bradbury has grown up around the local Mission station and formed a deep and growing relationship with his childhood friend, Lowanna.

But his parents are determined that Jack will take his rightful place in the middle-class commercial society into which he was born and seek a higher match for him.

Jack decides to follow a career in the legal profession and finds a job with a prominent barrister in Sydney.

Almost before he realises what is happening Jack is engaged to be married to his employer’s daughter, and assured of a prosperous future in partnership with his father-in-law.

Then trouble breaks out in the local Aboriginal community, and Lowanna reappears in his life, seeking his assistance.

Torn between two lifestyles, two loves, and two widely contrasting futures, Jack must make an agonising and irrevocable life choice. He has one foot in each of two disparate and bitterly divided communities — which will he opt to become a member of?

A Colony Divided is the third historical novel in The Australian Saga Series: a set of books chronicling the early years of British settlement in the 18th and 19th centuries.

David was born in post-war Nottingham, and educated at Nottingham High School. After obtaining a Law degree he became a career-long criminal law practitioner and academic, emigrating in 1989 to Australia, where he still lives.

Combining his two great loves of History and the English language he began writing historical novels as an escape from the realities of life in the criminal law, but did not begin to publish them until close to fulltime retirement, when digital publishing offered a viable alternative to literary agencies, print publishers and rejection slips.

Now blessed with all the time in the world, his former hobby has become a fulltime occupation as he enjoys life in rural New South Wales with his wife, sons and grandchildren to keep him firmly grounded in the reality of the contemporary world.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Quality
    Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2023
    This book presents Australia’s early beginning probably in a way that history books do not tell. The history is told by people lived in that era for the most part. Field tells the history of the individuals who did actually exist and those who are fictional. It is a different method of learning about Australia from the time Europeans first began colonization.

    This novel was lightweight all the way through . I expected it to be a harsh recount of life in Australia in those early days . All it was about was the shallow relationships of a soppy romantic novel .
