A story of freedom, forgiveness and finding the strength to break free. International bestselling writer Karen Viggers returns to remote Tasmania, the setting of her most popular novel The Lightkeeper's Wife.

This book is part of Jane Rawson’s list of ‘Five Tasmanian novels that will make you see nature differently’. Jane writes:

As forestry becomes more marginalised, conflicts are sparked between people in this fictional southern Tassie town. Leon, a ranger, and Miki, an isolated young woman, form a friendship based on their passion for nature. Karen’s own love of Tasmania’s forests and wildlife, particularly devils and eagles, is on display throughout this truly engaging read.
