How far would you go to find yourself? The lyrical, life-affirming
novel from the bestselling author of Private Peaceful and War
Horse. There were dozens of us on the ship, all up on deck for the
leaving of Liverpool, gulls wheeling and crying over our heads,
calling good-bye... That is all I remember of England. When
six-year-old orphan Arthur Hobhouse is shipped to Australia after
WWII he loses his sister, his country and everything he knows.
Overcoming enormous hardships with fellow orphan Marty, Arthur is
finally saved by the extraordinary people he meets and by his
talent for boat-design and sailing. Now he has built a special boat
for his daughter Allie - a solo yacht designed to carry her to
England in search of his long-lost sister. Will the threads of
Arthur's life finally come together? I was there on the quayside to
see Allie take her out for the first time, saw her dancing through
the waves, and I knew I'd never built a finer boat.
