From the Back Cover

Richard Mahony comes to Australia for one reason only: to make his fortune in gold. There, he finds it difficult to fit in with the hard-drinking, working class crowd. When an attempt to open a general store fails miserably, Richard follows the advice of his wife Polly and pursues medicine instead. Australia Felix is a novel by Henry Handel Richardson.

Richardson, Henry Handel: -

Henry Handel Richardson (1870-1946) was the pen name of Australian novelist Ethel Florence Lindesay Richardson. Born in East Melbourne, she was raised in a series of towns across Victoria with her mother and siblings following her father's death. At thirteen, she left Maldon--where her mother worked as the local postmistress--to attend Presbyterian Ladies' College in Melbourne. Her time there would inspire her bestselling coming-of-age novel The Getting of Wisdom (1910). Upon graduating in 1888, Richardson moved with her family to Germany to study music at the Leipzig Conservatorium. In 1894, she married John George Robertson, whom she met in Leipzig while he was studying German literature. They moved to London in 1903, where Richardson would publish Maurice Guest (1908), her debut novel. In 1912, Richardson returned to Australia to begin researching for her critically acclaimed trilogy The Fortunes of Richard Mahony, which consists of the novels Australia Felix (1917), The Way Home (1925), and Ultima Thule (1929). Partly based on her own family's history, the trilogy earned praise from such figures as Sinclair Lewis for its startling depictions of a man's decline due to mental illness and the lengths to which his wife must go to care for their young family.
