FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE-SHORTLISTED AND WOMEN''S PRIZE-WINNING AUSTRALIAN NOVELIST

In 1788 Daniel Rooke sets out on a journey that will change the course of his life. As a lieutenant in the First Fleet, he lands on the wild and unknown shores of New South Wales. There he sets up an observatory to chart the stars. But this country will prove far more revelatory than the skies above.

Based on real events, The Lieutenant tells the unforgettable story of Rooke''s connection to an Aboriginal child - a remarkable friendship that resonates across the oceans and the centuries.
