          The incredible true story behind the Booker Prize-shortlisted The Secret River from the Women's Prize-winning Australian novelist Kate Grenville

          *NEW NOVEL RESTLESS DOLLY MAUNDER SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN''S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2024*
          FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE-SHORTLISTED AND WOMEN''S PRIZE-WINNING AUSTRALIAN NOVELIST

          Kate Grenville''s The Secret River was one of the most loved novels of 2006. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize and awarded the Commonwealth Writer''s Prize, the story of William Thornhill and his journey from London to the other side of the world has moved and exhilarated hundreds of thousands of readers.

          Searching for the Secret River tells the story of how Grenville came to write this wonderful book. It is in itself an amazing story, beginning with Grenville''s great-great-great grandfather. Grenville starts to investigate her ancestor, hoping to understand his life. She pursues him from Sydney to London and back, and slowly she begins to realise she must write about him. Searching for the Secret River maps this creative journey into fiction, and illuminates the importance of family in all our lives.
