The Lieutenant

Product Description

Lieutenant Daniel Rooke sails into Sydney Cove with the First Fleet, hoping to advance his career. Instead, his life is unimaginably changed.
A young Aboriginal girl visits and begins to teach him her language. As they learn to speak together, they build a rapport that bridges the gap between their dangerously different worlds. Then Tooke is given a command that forces him to choose between his duty as a soldier and the friendship that's become so precious to him.
Inspired by the First Fleet notebooks of William Dawes, The Lieutenant is about a unique moment when one world engaged with another.
