This novel will appeal to readers who enjoy sweeping historical sagas rich with family drama, wartime challenges, and emotional depth. Fans of stories set against the backdrop of early 20th-century global conflicts and those intrigued by multi-generational curses will find this a compelling read.

A war in Africa and the shadow of a terrible curse inextricably linking the Duffy and Macintosh families for generations ensures happiness never comes to them. Will this be true for the next generation into the twentieth century?

Description

When Major Patrick Duffy's wife Catherine leaves him for another, Patrick is propelled out of Sydney and into yet another bloody war. However, the battlefields of Africa hold more than nightmarish terrors and unspeakable conditions for Patrick—they bring him into contact with one he thought long dead and lost to him.

Back in Australia, the mysterious Michael O'Flynn mentors Patrick's youngest son, Alex, and takes him on a journey to their Queensland property. But will the terrible curse that has inextricably linked the Duffys and Macintoshes for generations ensure that no true happiness can ever come to them?

Through the dawn of a new century in a now federated nation, To Chase the Storm charts an explosive tale of love and loss, from South Africa to Palestine, from Townsville to the green hills of Ireland.
