About this listen
1932. Ernie and Lily Hass, and their daughter, Girlie, have lost almost everything in the Depression; all they have keeping their small family together are their secrets. Abandoning their failing wheat farm and small-town gossip, they make a new start on the west coast of Australia, where they begin to build a summer guesthouse. But forming new alliances with the locals isn't easy.
Into the Hasses' new life wanders Lily's shell-shocked brother, Tommy, after three harrowing years on the road following his incarceration. Tommy is seeking answers that will cut to the heart of who Ernie, Lily and Girlie really are.
Inspired by the author's own family history, The Secrets at Ocean's Edge is a haunting, memorable and moving tale of one family's search for belonging. Kali Napier breathes a fever-pitch intensity into the story of these emotionally fragile characters as their secrets are revealed with tragic consequences. If you loved The Light Between Oceans and The Woolgrower's Companion, you will love this story.

Reader hard to listen too.
I am finding the reader very slow and monotonous to listen too which is s shame as I’m sure the book will be good but can’t go any further .

Beautifully Written. Hard to put down.
What a beautiful story. I really didn’t want this one to end. The author easily transported me through history, describing the depression and the tribulations faced by the Hass family so well I almost believed I was there.
I look forward to her next book.
