About the book
Shirley Hazzard weaves an elegant narrative that follows three women through their paths of love, work, and personal achievement across decades. The novel, set in the postwar period, explores the complexity of relationships, the pursuit of self-sufficiency, and the choices that shape individual lives.
With refined prose and memorable characters, Hazzard captures the sensibility of the 20th century while examining universal themes of hope, disappointment, and the possibility of personal transformation.
