Plot summary

"This is the story of two families – branches of the Solomons – transported to an alien land, both of whom eventually grow rich and powerful but who, through three generations, never for one moment relinquish their hatred for each other. It is also the story of our country from the beginning until we came of age as a nation. I have learned a great deal about Australia and those things which concern us as a people and make us, in many ways, who we are today. To write this book, I visited Gallipoli and came away deeply saddened by the terrible waste of our young blood. We would never be quite the same again. It has been a grand adventure and I hope that you will find Solomon's Song a good and powerful story. No writer can possibly hope for more".—Bryce Courtenay on book jacket.

gollark: I actually had an entry using Z3.
gollark: So I should be biasing my RNG slightly? Hmm.
gollark: I decided to just ignore all the post-submission discussion because people were inevitably just bluffing to apiometaspace and back.
