I love the alternating stories told down throughout the generations from 1788 until 1999! As I was listening on audiobook, I sometimes found it a bit difficult to keep track of who was who in the family tree, and would have liked to be able to flip back to check things, but overall I enjoyed it as an audiobook. Richard Aspel did a great job with a large cast of characters with varied accents!

Beneath the Southern Cross is an incredible tale spanning multiple generations of the Kendall family. Thomas Kendall was sentenced to transportation to Australia as punishment for theft. The novel not only chronicles his life and that of his descendants, but also of pivotal moments in Australia's history. Love and losses, births and deaths, wars and depressions, this has it all. The standards of the characters and their generations are woven together seamlessly.
