Beneath the Southern Cross by Judy Nunn is a sweeping historical novel that chronicles the saga of the Kendall family across more than two centuries of Australian history. The story begins in 1788 with Thomas Kendall, a naive nineteen-year-old sentenced to transportation for burglary, who finds himself bound for Sydney Town and a new life in the wild and lawless land beneath the Southern Cross. Thomas fathers a dynasty that will last more than two hundred years. His descendants play their part in the forging of a nation, but greed and prejudice see an irreparable rift in the family which will echo through the generations. It is only at the dawn of the new Millennium—as an old journal lays bare a terrible secret—that the family can finally reclaim its honour.
