Thicker Than Water

History, Secrets and Guilt: a Memoir

Cal Flyn was very proud when she discovered that her ancestor, Angus McMillan, had been a pioneer of colonial Australia. However, when she dug deeper, she began to question her pride. McMillan had not only cut tracks through the bush, but played a dark role in Australia's bloody history.

'Stunning. 'Thicker Than Water' is a thrilling debut, a true story that reads like a classy, compelling fiction' The Times

'A moving and impressive debut' Telegraph

'Deftly captures the looking-glass world of the antipodean landscape ... Her account is vivid with a sense of strangeness ... 'Thicker Than Water' is, to borrow a word Australians use when dealing with anything unsettling, a "confronting" book' Guardian

'Intelligently and evocatively written' Allan Massie, Scotsman

'A searing tale of adventure and (self) discovery that shows the past is nearer than we think. Flyn is a writer with a gimlet eye and a big heart' Ben Rawlence

'Thicker Than Water combines memoir, history, travelogue and lyrical nature writing; a true story that reads like classy, page-turning fiction' Melanie Read, The Times

'An unflinchingly honest, profoundly moving memoir' Herald
