Summary Note |
The Bay is a peaceful town on the Australian east coast; a melting pot of city escapees, alternative lifestylers, lost souls, and men and women in search of a new sense of identity. When Sydney corporate wife Holly Jamieson turns forty-five she shocks her husband by buying an old house in The Bay with plans to transform it into a B & B. This gesture of independence soon changes her life. The Bay was once a whaling town, then a sleepy resort that became trendy, and now developers are moving in for the kill. Holly, her family, and an unusual band of friends are in the battle lines and not always on the same side. The Bay captures the atmosphere of a unique place and its people so you can feel that you are there. |
