About this listen
A GLIMPSE INTO THE PAST
On a blistering hot day in 1850, George and Richard Ross take their first steps on Australian soil after three long months at sea. All they have is each other, and a quarterly remittance from their irate father who has banished them to the Colonies.
LIFE IN A NEW WORLD
A decade on, and the brothers are the owners of successful vineyard, Araluen, nestled in a beautiful green valley not far from Adelaide. Now a successful businessman, George has laid down the roots of his own Ross dynasty, born of the New World. But building a family empire - at any cost - can have a shattering effect on the generations to come ...
A SAGA OF POWER AND GREED
From the South Australian vineyards of the 1850s to the opulence and corruption of Hollywood's golden age to the relentless loneliness of the outback to mega-budget movie-making in modern-day New York... Judy Nunn weaves an intricate web of characters and locations in this spellbinding saga of the Ross family and its inescapable legacy of greed and power.

Started well, but too drawn out and a bit far-fetched.
This is a very long book. It started really well and I was really enjoying it, but then it all became a bit long winded and far-fetched. She bought it back at the end, but i don’t think it was her best work.
