Esther Hamilton had a reputation in the small Queensland town of Noah
Vale. That was until she ran away, twenty years ago, under a cloud of
shame. It is now 1955 and following her death, her daughters, the
Hamilton sisters, have come to make the town their home.Sonnet,
at twenty years old, has never set foot in Noah Vale, but has been the
talk of the town for decades. Fable is a budding artist and lovelier
even than her heartbreaking mother. And Plum is just a little girl who
has been taken away from the only home she has ever known. As
the years pass the girls settle into their new life. But suspicion and
judgement follow them wherever they go. In a small town where everyone
knows each other, it can be hard to escape the past . . . '[A] fresh, original and evocative coming-of-age story'
