Text summary from the 2020 VCAA Text List

Grenville’s work of historical fiction depicts the journey of young Marine Lieutenant Daniel Rooke and how he navigates his troubled childhood in 18th-century Portsmouth, his life in Australia and, finally, in Antigua. A gifted mathematician and astronomer, Rooke is sent to Australia’s first settlement, where he becomes obsessed with learning and recording in writing the language of the Cadigal people. Rooke’s attachment to his ‘tutors’, particularly Tagaran, tests his loyalties, making him choose between old and new-found friends, and patriotic obligations and conscience, leaving him emotionally alienated and, ultimately, physically isolated. Grenville’s novel examines the themes of knowledge, ambition, friendship, difference and isolation, and the role of language.
