In 1856, Simon Kozminsky travelled from Prussia to begin a new life in the
fledgling colony of Victoria. In the heady days of the gold rush, he established
a jewellery house that would gain world renown. But behind the glittering facade
of wealth, glamour and influence lay a darker, sadder story: a mysterious rift
between Simon and his eldest son.
In an extraordinary coincidence, the answer to this life-long estrangement was
painted by Australia's pre-eminent artist of the time, Frederick McCubbin. The
portrait depicted the beautiful 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. With authenticity and dramatic verve, Tangea Tansley brings alive
Melbourne of the past in a tantalising tale of fortune and faith, love and
betrayal.
