About this ebook

Elspeth is full of inexpressible longings: to leave behind her beginnings in a small wheatbelt town, and a secret she scarcely comprehends. After migrating from Singapore, Francis just wants to make a life for himself that is not determined by the colour of his skin or the judgement of others.Told by their only child, Eva, this is a novel about falling in love, and falling apart the beautiful, sad story of a shared history that never ends.
