About this listen

 ‘This town is full of tiger men,’ Dan said. ‘Just look around you. The merchants, the builders, the bankers, the company men, they’re all out for what they can get.’ Van Diemen’s Land was an island of stark contrasts; a harsh penal colony, an English idyll for its landed gentry, and an island so rich in natural resources it was a profiteer’s paradise. Tiger Men is the sweeping tale of three families who lived through Tasmania’s golden era and witnessed the birth of the Commonwealth of Australia, only to watch its young men consumed by the fires and horror of the First World War.©2011 Tiger Men Judy Nunn.

Great book. Very well written. But be prepared for timelines to jump quickly. Though the story and narration by Richard Aspel is so good you don't mind. 2 thumbs up for a great listen! Thanks Judy and Richard 👍👍
