An engrossing and touching story of war-time love that knows no boundaries.
Sam Delon has led a privileged life as part of a wealthy expatriate community in Japan. Florence Carter has known only a tranquil middle-class existence in her native Australia. Although they are worlds apart, after only one meeting he will never forget her - and the secret they share will decide his future.
Following his pampered childhood and adolescence, Sam faces unrelenting danger when the outbreak of World War II makes him an enemy of the country that has been his only home. For Florence, the war delivers almost everything she has ever dreamed of before stealing it away. What will sustain them through their darkest hours is a bond formed on a Sydney beach before the shadow of conflict fell across their homelands.
