“Tossed and Blown is the first in a series of novels dealing with the life of an Australian “rolling stone”.  Buffeted by the wind and tide of experience, he slowly comes to the realization that no man can enjoy his “place in the sun” at the expense of others, and that only by unity and true mateship can men achieve the things that make life worth while.
Rich in human understanding, and filled with an absorbing interest, this series will, when completed, make a notable contribution to Australian literature.  The second volume, God’s Own Country, set in the America of the prohibition and early depression years, is an enthralling continuation of Tossed and Blown.
