The Flame in the Morning, June Whittaker , single work novel historical fiction
'Henry and Susannah Kable have risen from the ashes of their convict past to become settled, prosperous citizens in the fledgling colony of New South Wales...But even though they are on the other side of the world, Henry and Susannah must still come to terms with their former life in Norwich gaol...This story of the Kables' fortunes is set against a turbulent period in the colony's history, a time when the increasing power of John Macarthur leads him and the Rum Corps to challenge Governor William Bligh.' (Source: dustjacket, 1983 edition)
The Raking of the Embers, June Whittaker , single work novel historical fiction
'Early in the spring of 1783, a young man stood in the dock of the small, crowded courtroom of Thetford in Norfolk. His offence was burglary, and his sentence - to be hanged by the neck until he was dead - was swift and merciless. The young man was Henry Cabell, and The Raking of the Embers, vividly written and meticulously researched by June Whittaker, a descendant of Cabell, is both his story and the story of the first settlement at Sydney Cove.' (Source: dustjacket, 1982 edition)
