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).
