Historical novel set in Western Australia at Federation, with CY O'Connor and the Goldfields water scheme being centre stage. The foundation myth of the western state, the O'Connor tragedy is a story everyone in WA 'sort of' knows, retold here in compelling style. And a light is shone on the role of one intimidating individual whose role in the tragedy has been politely ignored for over a century.
