description: The first in Henry Handel Richardson's trilogy, The Fortunes of Richard Mahoney.(From the book blurb)Mahoney's personal history is closely interwoven with the history of the colony of Victoria at the time of the Ballarat Gold Rush. Colonial life, although the source of his prosperity, becomes for Mahoney the prime cause of an incurable dissatisfaction with his lot. The trilogy is continued in The Way Home, and then Ultima Thule.
