Tommo & Hawk – Bryce Courtenay

Description

In Tommo & Hawk, the second book in The Potato Factory series, readers are drawn into the gritty, emotional journey of two brothers who are violently torn apart in childhood, only to be reunited at the age of fifteen in Hobart. Together, they set out on a transformative journey, facing life’s challenges—from the brutal whale hunts in the Pacific to the violent Maori wars in New Zealand, the miner’s riots in the goldfields, and the rough streets of Sydney’s Rocks district.

As they forge their paths into manhood, Tommo and Hawk must navigate their differences and learn to rely on each other’s strengths and weaknesses to survive. This powerful story explores the enduring bond between brothers and their struggle to find hope and meaning amid hardship and betrayal. With vivid storytelling, Bryce Courtenay crafts an unforgettable tale of courage, survival, and the harsh realities of life in the young colonies.
