'Tact and intelligence are sustained to the end of this bold novel of the wartime home front' β Sydney Morning Herald
A story about a love that transcends all boundaries, from one of Australia's best loved authors.
5 AUGUST, 1944

At nearby Erambie Station, an Aboriginal mission, Banjo Williams, father of five and proud man of his community, discovers Hiroshi, distraught and on the run.

Mary, Banjo's daughter, is intrigued by the softly spoken stranger, and charged with his care.
