Set between Tanzania and Tasmania, this is a deeply moving novel about family and belonging, by the acclaimed bestselling author of The Rain Queen and The Beautiful Mother.

Once the boundaries of normality are broken, anything can happen ...

In 1960s Tanzania, Sara Brayden spends years longing for a baby, while struggling in her conventional role as a mine manager's wife. She was born into a life of moving with the seasons, in the company of nomad herding families, on the grassy plains of Serengeti.

As her marriage fractures, Sara's quest for motherhood leads her on an extraordinary journey. It begins on the moonlit shores of Silver Lake, where a family tragedy sparks an encounter with a stranger she can never forget ...

Her search takes her half a world away, to the island of Tasmania. There, in a place where the sound of a wild ocean floats on the air, she finds the power of a very special kind of love - only then is she ready for what comes next.

From the internationally bestselling author of The Rain Queen comes her landmark work, a novel that explores the meaning of family, identity and home, and looks at how - in the midst of heartbreak - hope and healing can be found.
