Mr Robinson was married to the author for more than 30 years. She had no children or other living relatives.
It's easy to see why: a big cast of imperfect but likable characters fumbling and figuring out how to live while also making a living? It's relatable and escapist, a big juicy saga like Gone With the Wind, the kind of book in which you simultaneously recognize parts of yourself and lose yourself completely.
Kingston Cemetery is now part of the Kingston UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tombstones read like a who's who of Norfolk Island history. You'll find convicts from the First Fleet, soldiers and sailors, descendants of Bounty mutineers and other island residents, including beloved novelist Colleen McCullough, buried here.
