Sevengate - The Harvest by Clive Thomas

"Thursday’s Child," aka Peter Tobin – foundling, drover, shearer, horse-breaker, soldier, and pastoralist – travelled far and wide throughout the Australian outback in the late 19th and early 20th century. The legacy of his widely scattered seed is gathered up in this tale of fatal misunderstandings, murder, and altruism, spanning the years 1910 to 1974. Like the character Tobin's memoir "Thursday’s Child" that precedes it, the author gives a respectful nod to history, yet reminds us this is a work of fiction.
