Author: Marcus Clarke
Title: For the Term of His Natural Life
Description: Penguin 2009 Paperback, 445pp. Scarcely out of print since the early 1870s, For the Term of His Natural Life has provided successive generations with a vivid account of a brutal phase of colonial life. The main focus of this great convict novel is the complex interaction between those in power and those who suffer, made meaningful because of its hero's struggle against his wrongful imprisonment. Elements of romance, incidents of family life and passages of scenic description both relieve and give emphasis to the tragedy that forms its heart. (ISBN: 9780143202691). Good.
