Synopsis

WINNER of the 2020 FIRST PAGES PRIZE: —Judge, Sebastian Faulks (New York Times best selling author) was "transported".

WHEN SECRETS DEMAND TO BE TOLD . . . Two young women, a generation apart, travel to opposite sides of the globe on fraught journeys of self-discovery. When new and old worlds collide are the stakes set too high?

1958 and Gabrijela yearns to escape the confines of bleak post-war Croatia and her tiny fishing community but never imagines her choices will see her exiled to New Zealand — a new immigrant sent to housekeep for an enigmatic man clutching a secret she dare not reveal.

Decades later, Luisa, hell-bent on unpicking her mother's past, departs on her own covert quest to visit her estranged relatives on Korčula. But not all decisions are equal and amid Yugoslavia’s brewing civil unrest Luisa's journey confronts her with culture shocks and dark encounters of her own.

Can one life-changing moment right the wrongs of the past?
