AbstractHistoryArchive Description
The author, who has written extensively on Australian subjects, has wrung the utmost drama out of a simple theme—the efforts of an unscrupulous and vulgar city financier to buy up the small farms of German settlers in the South Australian district of Freeling.
The story describes with all the suspense of a detective thriller, the steps taken by the settlers to resist the threatened break-up of their homes, and the measures they adopt to outwit the ruthless cunning of the financier. Besides this central theme there is a strong love interest and the dialogue is racy and idiomatic.
– The Sydney Morning Herald, 14 August 1939, p. 3
