About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Policy and Passion by Rosa Campbell Praed. Read in English by Lynne T; Celine Major; Jim Locke; Kalynda "Policy and Passion, a Novel of Australian Life" tells the story about a father and daughter, torn between the policy of the country in which they live and the passions both have. The father, Thomas, is a rising politician until his love for a married woman changes the game while the daughter, Honora, falls in love with an English nobleman. But this is not only a love story. This novel tells about the early days of Australia, and tells the story of a whole community. It receives scholarly attention as a work about colonialism. - Summary by Stav Nisser
