About this listen
Nine months later, a baby is born...with Jessica determined to guard the secret of the father's identity. The rivalry of Jessica and her beautiful sister for the love of the same man will echo throughout their lives, until finally the truth must be told.
Set in the harsh Australian bush against the outbreak of World War I, this novel is heartbreaking in its innocence, and shattering in its brutality.

Beautifully Sombre
Such a heartbreaking story, so powerful and deep - and the way Humphrey narrates, I'd say he has a degree from Harvard in storytelling 🙌 Absolutely beautiful, This is already my favourite book but you absolutely brought it to life on a whole other level 💖

Beautifully thought provoking.
Just love this book. Such a heartbreaking story of struggle and injustice. The narration was superb and extremely enjoyable to listen to. I can’t write too much more as I am so sad upon finishing this wonderful story. Definitely a must read for all.
