From Nicole Alexander, the 'heart of Australian storytelling', comes a sweeping rural saga spanning two generations.In 1923 nineteen-year-old Jack Manning watches the construction of the mighty Harbour Bridge and dreams of being more than just a grocer's son. So when he's offered the chance to manage Absolution Creek, a sheep property 800 miles from Sydney, he seizes the opportunity.But outback life is tough, particularly if you're young, inexperienced and have only a few textbooks to guide you. Then a thirteen-year-old girl, Squib Hamilton, quite literally washes up on his doorstep - setting in motion a devastating chain of events.Forty years later and Cora Hamilton is waging a constant battle to keep Absolution Creek in business. She's ostracized by the local community and hindered by her inability to move on from the terrible events of her past, which haunt her both physically and emotionally.Only one man knows what really happened in 1923. A dying man who is riding towards Absolution Creek, seeking his own salvation.From the gleaming foreshores of Sydney Harbour to the vast Australian outback, this is a story of betrayal and redemption and of an enduring love which defies even death.'Alexander writes with a deep love of the land' Courier-Mail Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
