Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Senator William Patterson, wealthy and influential, hides a scandal from his past that could ruin him. Stefan Muller, a young penniless immigrant, seeks a promised new life in a land that does not welcome him. When the senator's cherished daughter Elizabeth falls in love with the impoverished Stefan, it creates a family conflict that threatens to destroy them. From a tumultuous and vibrant Sydney to the lyrical landscape of the Barossa Valley, A Bitter Harvest is an epic saga of prejudice, political turmoil and lasting love from one of Australia's favourite storytellers.
First published by Pan Macmillan Australia in 1997.
Includes bibliographical references.
"Senator William Patterson wealthy, influential and powerful. But all of his success cannot protect his cherished daughter, Elizabeth, from the one thing he fears most Stefan Muller - young, German and impoverished. His dreams of a new life in a land of hope and opportunity are soured by war and by a country which will not claim him as its own. Their love for one woman will draw them together and tear them apart. In a land where each man makes his own destiny, a family learns that the price of love and loyalty can sometimes be too high."--Provided by publisher.
