Timms , New York (City) : Pyramid Books Inc. , 1975 Z161400 1948 single work novel historical fiction adventure 'The Swan River Settlement was in its infancy when the London Lass set sail with its cargo of emigrants to this strange new world. Proud or humble, adventurous or ambitious, those who rubbed shoulders in this perilous journey were so diverse that their passions and frustrations were bound to end in more than one human tragedy...it is a colouful gallery, implicit with the drama of conflicting personalities. High adventure is the keynote of this story of a fateful journey to Western Australia.' (Back cover.)

'Set in nineteenth-century Australia, Voss is the story of the secret passion between an explorer and a naïve young woman. Although they have met only a few times, Voss and Laura are joined by overwhelming, obsessive feelings for each other. Voss sets out to cross the continent. As hardships, mutiny and betrayal whittle away his power to endure and to lead, his attachment to Laura gradually increases. Laura, waiting in Sydney, moves through the months of separation as if they were a dream and Voss the only reality.

'From the careful delineation of Victorian society to the sensitive rendering of hidden love to the stark narrative of adventure in the Australian desert, Patrick White's novel is a work of extraordinary power and virtuosity.'

Now in one shared vision they find themselves bound together, understanding the possibility of redemption.'
