'From Tasmania to the Home Counties, this beautifully mastered tale is an exploration of love, loss, courage and hope. Marion and Leonard Lee arrive in Tasmania at the time of the Port Arthur massacre, to stay with their daughter Anna and her husband until they find a house. Marion is full of misgivings and Leonard is running from a situation of his own making. Deceit, a sudden death and alienation from her daughter send Marion into a tail spin. She returns to England alone, only to discover further dilemmas not of her own making. Will she have the courage and spiritual strength to make decisions? Will she lose her new-found independence if she accepts love in all its myriad forms? Which way will she turn? '
