Description
This sweeping saga follows two sisters, Caro and Grace Bell, as they journey from Sydney to postwar England, seeking a new life and a sense of belonging. Their lives become entangled with the enigmatic Paul and the complex web of relationships that define their adult years. As secrets unravel and past traumas resurface, the novel explores themes of love, loss, betrayal, and the enduring search for identity. Shirley Hazzard masterfully crafts a narrative that is both a poignant family drama and a profound meditation on the choices that shape our destinies.
