註釋Set in Ireland in the late 1700s, Savage Sympathy is the story of Padraig Gallagher, who wants to find those responsible for the rape, murder, and destruction of all he loved, perpetrated by the landlords of English hierarchy. As he seeks revenge, his journey takes him from his homeland in Donegal to London, where he becomes a convict on the first fleet heading to Van Diemen’s Land in the earliest days of Australia becoming a British prison colony. The story is a fictional novel focusing on factual events, and includes the actual names and historical facts as indicated in the early landing at Botany Bay by the officers, crews, surgeons, and convicts of the first eleven English vessels sailing to Australia. This is a fact-based tale of British soldiers brutalizing convicts and much more. Padraig Gallagher is a fictional character, as is his brother Sean. So is the story of revenge finalizing in the second half of the novel.
