A young prodigy in need of family. A painting that shatters a woman’s
peace. And a decades-old mystery demanding to be solved.
Australia, 1906
Orphan Jane Piper is nine years old when philanthropist siblings
Michael and Elizabeth Quinn take her into their home to further her
schooling. The Quinns are no strangers to hardship— having arrived in
Australia as penniless immigrants, they now care for others as lost as
they once were.
Despite Jane’s mysterious past, her remarkable aptitude for mathematics
takes her far over the next seven years, and her relationship with
Elizabeth and Michael flourishes as she plays an increasingly prominent
part in their business.
But when Elizabeth reacts in terror to an exhibition at the local
gallery, Jane realizes no one knows Elizabeth after all—not even
Elizabeth herself. As the past and the present converge and Elizabeth’s
grasp on reality loosens, Jane sets out to unravel Elizabeth’s story
before it is too late.
From the gritty reality of the Australian goldfields to the grand
institutions of Sydney, this compelling novel takes us on a mystery
across continents and decades as both women finally discover a place to
call home.
