The Governor, His Wife and His Mistress by Sue Williams
From the bestselling author of Elizabeth & Elizabeth and That Bligh Girl, comes another fascinating story of female friendship, betrayal and triumphs based on historical events.
Sue Williams' first two historical novels, Elizabeth & Elizabeth, about Elizabeth Macquarie and Elizabeth Macarthur, and That Bligh Girl, with Mary Bligh and her father, the notorious mutiny survivor and governor William Bligh, both proved bestsellers. Now this is her third, being the prequel, in her series about the early days of colonial Australia.
She believes we have one of the most colourful pasts in the world and is always eager to explore it and give a voice to some of the most fascinating characters, usually women, who have been the most unheard until now.
Sue is also an award-winning journalist, travel writer and bestselling author of non-fiction. Her previous books include Run For Your Life: The remarkable true story of a family forced into hiding after leaking Russian secrets; Under Her Skin: The life and work of Professor Fiona Wood; Mean Streets, Kind Heart: The Father Chris Riley story; Father Bob: The larrikin priest; The Last Showman: Fred Brophy; No Time For Fear: Paul de Gelder; Peter Ryan: The inside story; And Then The Darkness and Daughter of the River Country. Other books are about travel, true crime and genetics, while she has also had a children's book published.
Sue lives in Sydney with her partner Jimmy Thomson, who writes crime thriller novels as James Dunbar, and their cat who remains steadfastly unimpressed by anything they do.
