Summary Note |
A luminous novel about the journeys we undertake, the sacrifices we make and the heartache we suffer for love. Sarah and her granddaughter Hannah are on a cruise from San Diego to Sydney. Sarah hasn't been back to Australia since boarding the USS Mariposa in 1945, when she, along with countless other war brides, sailed across the Pacific to join the American servicemen they had married during World War II. Hannah is the same age Sarah was when she made her first journey, and in hearing Sarah tell the story of her life, realises the immensity of what her grandmother gave up. |
