Summary
In the late 19th century, Captain Woolcot takes his young second wife, Esther, their baby ('The General') and his other six children to live in a big country house, known as 'Misrule', near the Parramatta River. We get to know Meg, as she ventures uncertainly towards womanhood; Pip, the confident oldest son; Judy, the cleverest and most inventive at getting into trouble; Nell, the most beautiful and placid; Bunty, a boy too fond of food and prone to tell fibs; and finally, Baby who is just four years old. The children make a fateful, 300-mile train journey to 'Yarrahappini', Esther's parents' outback property where a tragedy changes all their lives.
