Set during the first Australian cricket tour of England in 1868, this magnificant debut novel explores an extraordinary friendship between King Cole, one of the Aboriginal players, and Sarah Larkin, a bookish spinster living in London. Taking his lead from true historical events, Ed Hillyer has created an exceptionally powerful novel of epic proportions - brimming with memorable characters and historical intrigue and etched with documentary detail that vividly brings Victorian London to life.
