Descrição
Queensland 1860. An empire built on sugar. Far from his native Scotland, Andrew Johnstone had built his fortune on the back of dirt-cheap Kanaka labourers.
His elder son, James, was haunted by the murder and rape of his young wife.
Daughter Helga felt herself marooned on the plantation as she dreamed of fame and fortune in the opera houses of Europe.
While across the blue Pacific dipped the blackbirding schooners with their human cargo, skippered by captains who'd sail to Hell and back for the sake of a profit.
