In the heady days of the Victorian gold rush, Simon Kozminsky established a jewellery house that would gain world renown. But behind the glittering facade of wealth and glamour lay a darker sadder story: a mysterious family rift. In an extraordinary coincidence, the cause of this life-long estrangement was painted by Australia's pre-eminent artist of the time, Frederick McCubbin. The portrait depicts the young Irish woman, Eileen Watkins, who unwittingly drove a wedge between father and son. A Break in the Chain is a brilliant imagining of three generations of real-life Kozminskys. Tangea Tansley brings alive the Melbourne of the past in a tantalising tale of fortune and faith, love and betrayal.

Tangea Tansley

With vivid imagination and sharp intelligence, Tangea Tansley's stories probe the struggle of being "human in a not-always-humane world."

Running a gamut of emotions, an extraordinary range of characters is wonderfully realised: an old woman suffering from Alzheimer's, a graphic artist out of work because of his principles, a taxi driver attacked by a mysterious young passenger, a lotto ticket holder who every week hopes not to win.

Tansley's writing is writing of great maturity, tensions held in balance, drama often matched with humour, and not a word wasted.
