History spans both sides of family

By 25 January 2025No Comments

We had two surprise guests at the launch of the new novel The Governor, His Wife and His Mistress at the Australian National Maritime Museum this week. We had a descendant of the governor (Philip Gidley King) and his wife – acclaimed historian Jonathan King — and also a descendant of the governor and his mistress – schoolteacher Madison Fazio – attend to officially declare the book … well … open. Was fabulous to see the two sides of the family reunited … and it was such a buzz to feel that history is still us so poignantly. Thanks so much guys, for being a part of it! You can read the SMH story about the reunion HERE (or HERE if you don’t have a subscription).
