- Summary
- "It's 1957 and after the death of her husband, pianist Ilona Talivaldis and her young daughter, Zidra, travel to the remote coastal town of Jingera in New South Wales, Ilona, a concentration-camp survivor from Latvia, is searching for peace and the opportunity to start anew. In her beautiful vine-covered cottage on the edge of the lagoon, she has plans to set herself up as a pionao teacher. The weeks pass, and slowly mother and daughter get to know the townsfold - including kind-jearted butcher George Cadwallader, who is forever gazing at the stars; his son, Jim, a boy wise beyond his years; Peter Vincent, former wartime pilot and prisoner-of-war; and Cherry Bates, the publican's wife who is about to make a horrifying discovery ...For Jingera is not quite the utopia Ilona imagines it to be - and at risk is the one thing Ilona holds dear.
