Southern Queensland, 1888
Squatter Jack Thomas has long dreamt of riches: of a grand house full of servants and a life of comfort and luxury. So when he finds a nugget of gold on land they don't yet own, he is faced with a difficult choice: listen to his older brother Bill and forget he ever found it? Or follow his heart and sell it... and lose everything along the way.

Am half way through the book and throughly enjoying Jacks journey
I was hooked the moment I read the first words right till the very last one. Brilliant, such a masterpiece of words that created such explicit pictures and a love affair with the characters. Thank you Foster. Loved it.
I've struggled to get back into reading for pleasure lately, nothing seems to hold my attention long enough to get into it. The Hollows has been a great read, a local adventure! Can't wait to get started on the next book!
Dear Foster, what an amazing story! I'm a slow reader, often having to re-read sentences or even paragraphs, but your book was just so readable and as others have said, hard to put down!
I normally dislike violence in any form and am not good with blood so please don't be tempted to make this a movie as I won't be watching!
I made immediate connections in three ways:
1. Set in 1888, my granny's birth year.
2. Jack's palomino mare had a white blaze freckled with palomino which reminded me of the racehorse my father purchased and trained on behalf of the town Tunbridge Wells, who, although chestnut, had the exact same freckled blaze.
3. For one of the characters to be named Ellis, is extraordinary as the only Ellis I know is my husband!
Thank you and I can't wait for the continuation of this exciting story!
I haven’t started reading this book yet (time poor!) but hope to soon. It looks like a good read that is an original style which makes it even more appealing to me. Both books arrived quickly and very well packaged. The tissue paper with the wax seal is a particulary nice touch. I wont be lending these books, rather I will be encouraging others to buy their own copies of Foster Burton’s books!
