A real page-turner, I couldn't put it down!

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this trilogy, such an amazing story filled with historical detail, I reckon every Australian should read it to learn a few things about the birth of this nation. The last book was a bit different, as the story brings us closer to the horrors of war and the suffering of men serving in it, but nonetheless beautifully written.

The description of the war is amazing. It is full of emotions and moment that makes you laugh like a lunatic.
That's why Bryce Courtenay is one of the best authors.

I didn't read the first two books in the trilogy. But still a very engaging read. Bryce Courtenay is a amazing writer.

I'm 20 pages away from being done and I am so sad- I want to stop reading. I won't because I have to know how it ends. I wish I could ask why his characters all go through hell- how good things don't happen to good people. But really I know the reasons, becuase it doesn't happen often enough in real life. His tragedies are so devastating- but these events explain the molding of a person and her dynasty. I'm grateful for this author for enriching my life and taking me to places I could never have imagined otherwise.

Finished it- and I can't say I expected the last 2 pages... wow! I guess this was the best ending for the last book in the trilogy- but wow..... Gosh I love Bryce!

A good, engaging read. Not as good as The Potato Factory or Tommo and Hawk, but still a good read.

Amazing, enlightening and moving, do not miss this book on Audible. Gallipoli is no longer just a spot on the map.

Like others have said this is a very unsatisfactory end to a trilogy. I think courtenay would have been better off writing a separate book about the war rather than tag it on to the end of the trilogy. Disappointing

OMG that's all I can say after reading all three books in this series.

Solomon's Song is the third and last book in Byrce Courtenay's Potato Factory Trilogy. It was my favorite. Much of the story took place on the peninsula of Gallipoli in Turkey, in 1915 -16. I have been to Gallipoli and saw where the New Zealand and Australian military perished as they supported the English. I could picture the scenes of these battles. Over the past year, I have had the families of Ikey and Mary....Tommo and Hawk with me on my MP3 Player as I worked around the house and drove in the car. I am sorry to come to the end of the trilogy as I very much enjoy Courtenay's work.

Glad to finish the trilogy. Not the end I was expecting to the trilogy. Ended with about 200 pages chronicling one member of the family who went off to WWI in the ANZ (Australia New Zealand) contingent and the Battle of Gallipoli (or the Dardanelles Campaign). A sad end for many young ANZ's. I cannot fathom why nations would go to war and I loathe the predominantly (exclusively?) male politicians and generals that send (mostly) young men to their deaths in war.

The conclusion of this fantastic trilogy of books left me sad on many fronts, but most of all because the story of Mary and her family was concluding. It's not often I get through a book in under two weeks, however whenever I could I stole precious minutes of reading time from other activities to get back to the horrifying story from trenches of Gallipoli, told so well by Courtenay that you could imagine yourself there and actually get an understanding of what happened in the minds of those young men that fought so bravely against insurmountable odds and the Turks defending their homeland. A must read trilogy from a master of historic novels.
