Quotes

“The plot twists are good—too good to spoil—and there is just enough of Tasmania’s rough wildness to transport the reader. As in Swimming at Night, Clarke weaves secrets and betrayals and the inner journey of a quiet, appealing everywoman.” Booklist

“An intensely emotional story of love, loss, and deception…Clarke skillfully envelops readers in a delicate, romantic story tinged with intrigue and set in a breathtakingly exotic locale…An entertaining narrative.” Kirkus Reviews
