Tracings.
Barry J Conn.
Four brothers and a sister emigrated from Ireland to the Colony of Victoria between 1853 and 1858. They came as part of the gold rush, but not because of the lure of gold. They came to farm the new pastoral and agricultural estates.
Life in Northern Ireland during the early 19th Century, provided limited opportunities for families. After years of hard work as agricultural labourers on the large estates of the far-off colony, they became successful landowners.
The Crash.
Kate Furnivall.
Paris 1933, Two days before Christmas, the express train to Strasbourg crashes into a local train in the winter darkness outside Paris. On board is Gilles Malroux, a man with a strong reason to avoid the police. In the mayhem of the accident he swaps identity papers with one of the other victims.
Gilles tries to flee but, severely injured, finds himself taken to the house of a woman he doesn’t know who nurses him. But is the bitter medicine in the spoon she puts to his lips healing him or harming him?
Camille Malroux is Gilles’s sister. She works for the French Civil Service and is trying to climb the latter of respectability after a childhood poverty. When she is informed by police that her brother is seriously injured in hospital, she rushes to his bedside, to discover it is not Gilles.
