From the bestselling author of Elizabeth & Elizabeth and That Bligh Girl, comes another fascinating story of female friendship, betrayal and triumphs based on historical events. Here’s your chance to win a copy of The Governor, His Wife and His Mistress.
‘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
‘I very much enjoyed That Bligh Girl, and eagerly look forward to reading its prequel.’ Judy Nunn, author of Black Sheep
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.
Two years, and two sons, later, he set out back to England to provide a report on Sydney and its newly tamed Norfolk Island, as his mistress Ann Inett begged him to return to her and their children.
After a year and a half he did – but bringing with him a shocking secret that would cut her to the core, and change all their lives forevermore.
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, Weekend Australian
‘Superb narration and engrossing drama.’ Tom Keneally on That Bligh Girl
‘Williams draws a touching portrait of a friendship that manages to thrive despite difficulties small and large.’ Sydney Morning Herald/The Age on Elizabeth & Elizabeth
