The Yandilli Trilogy...

Three lives, three generations, three vivid voices from the past - voices by turn passionate, witty, bitter and tragic - 'A Dream more Luminous than Love' resonates with the echoes and presentiments, the myths and ancestral memories that lie beneath the surface of colonial Australia.

In 'The Second Bridegroom' a young convict transported to Australia early in the nineteenth century escapes into the bush and becomes the centre of ceremonial journey which he has no means of comprehending.

Thirty years later in 'The Grisly Wife', at the dawn of the modern era (with photography, steam power and domestic machines such as the lawn mower) English missionary Catherine Byrne travels to remotest Australia with her prophetic husband and his band of women disciples.

Then in 1898 two sisters and a brother are found savagely murdered. What rises up to haunt us in 'Captivity Captive' is a huge tribe of a family turned in upon itself.

Already being hailed as a great colonial saga - our 'Raj Quartet' - Rodney Hall's brilliant trilogy spans the period from the last days of the convict system to the approach of Federation and offers unforgettable glimpses of an Australian paradise, purgatory and hell.

Includes 'The Grisly Wife', Winner of The 1994 Miles Franklin Literary Award.
