It is a factual account of a man whose life was so dramatic it reads like a picaresque novel. From Forger to Architect: Greenway was a talented architect in Bristol who was caught forging a contract. He was sentenced to death, which was later commuted to 14 years' transportation to the penal colony of New South Wales. Macquarie's Vision: Upon arrival in Sydney in 1814, he was "adopted" by Governor Lachlan Macquarie. Mallon details how the two men transformed a ramshackle convict settlement into a sophisticated city. Landmark Works: The book describes the creation of his masterpieces, including St James' Church, the Hyde Park Barracks, and the Macquarie Lighthouse.
