A Break in the Chain Author: Tangea Tansley

ISBN: 9780980790467 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 308 Published: 1 July 2011 Country of Publication: AU Dimensions (cm): 13.0 x 19.8 x 2.3 Description: In 1856, Simon Kozminsky travelled from Prussia to begin a new life in the fledgling colony of Victoria. In the heady days of the gold rush, he established a jewellery house that would gain world renown. But behind the glittering facade of wealth, glamour and influence lay a darker, sadder story: a mysterious rift between Simon and his eldest son. In an extraordinary coincidence, the answer to this life-long estrangement was painted by Australia¿s pre-eminent artist of the time, Frederick McCubbin.

The cover depicts a shy Eileen Watkins, the Irish woman who would unwittingly drive a wedge between father and son. The Early Kozminskys is a brilliant imagining of three generations of real-life Kozminskys. With authenticity and dramatic verve, Tangea Tansley brings alive Melbourne of the past in a tantalising tale of fortune and faith, love and betrayal.
