How far would you go to find yourself? The lyrical, life-affirming
new novel from the bestselling author of Private Peaceful There
were dozens of us on the ship, all ages, boys and girls, and we
were all up on deck for the leaving of Liverpool, gulls wheeling
and crying over our heads, calling good-bye, I thought they were
waving good-bye. None of us spoke. It was a grey day with drizzle
in the air, the great sad cranes bowing to the ship from the docks
as we steamed past. That is all I remember of England... When
orphaned Arthur Hobhouse is shipped to Australia after WWII he
loses his sister, his country and everything he knows. The coming
years will test him to his limits, as he endures mistreatment,
neglect and forced labour in the Australian outback. But Arthur is
also saved, again and again, by his love of the sea. And when he
meets a nurse whose father owns a boat-building business, all the
pieces of his broken life come together. Now, at the end of his
life, Arthur has built a special boat for his daughter Allie, whose
love of the sea is as strong and as vital as her father's. Now
Allie has a boat that will take her to England solo, across the
world's roughest seas, in search of her father's long-lost
sister... Will the threads of Arthur's life finally come together?
