From the back of the book:
In 1788 Daniel Rooke sets out on a journey that will change the course of his life. As a lieutenant in the First Fleet, he lands on the wild and unknown shores of New South Wales. There he sets up an observatory to chart the stars. But his country will prove far more revelatory than the stars above. Based on real events, The Lieutenent tells the unforgettabel story of Rooke's connection with an Aboriginal child - a remarkable friendship that resonates across the oceans ans the centuries.
