Sue Williams: The Governor, His Wife and His Mistress
About
From the bestselling writer that brought you Elizabeth & Elizabeth and That Bligh Girl comes another fascinating story of female friendship, betrayal and triumphs based on historical events.When future governor Philip Gidley King sailed with the First Fleet to the new colony, he had his pick of the convict women to look after him.
This is a story of tangled love affairs, female friendship, twisted loyalties, betrayals, hardship, male infidelity, and the tragedies and triumphs of life in a new land.
“Williams skilfully shows the too-often overlooked impact women had on the early development of the colony,” - Meg Keneally, The Weekend Australian.
“The very best historical fiction Williams’ novel gives voice in a page-turning narrative to the compelling lives and experiences of two forgotten women of early colonial Australia,” - Melissa Ashley, author of The Naturalist of Amsterdam.
