A painless birth for my new novel, The Governor, His Wife and His Mistress about Australia’s third governor Philip Gidley King and his tangled love life. Thanks so much to book critic Cindy L Spear for her fabulous 5-star review!
She says, ‘This is another riveting colonial historical novel from Sue Williams. She has such a gift in turning details from the past into powerful dramatic fiction. Always at the core are resilient women who fought their way to recognition, overcame tremendous trials and built successful lives. The importance of female friendships is showcased in The Governor, His Wife and His Mistress. The much needed support and understanding between women who share loves, trials and victories are seen here … Yet through forgiveness, a collaboration begins that results in a deeply respectful and warm friendship between these two women … I feel richer in spirit and more enhanced in the knowledge of colonial Australia after reading The Governor, His Wife and His Mistress.’
