About this listen

A fast-paced historical romance adventure, set on the mighty Murray River in the 1890s with a flawed but lovable heroine.

The 1890s, River Murray, Northern Victoria.

Georgina Calthorpe is unhappy living with her indifferent foster family, the MacHenrys, in their crumbling house on the banks of the River Murray. Unlike the rest of the family, she isn't looking forward to the return of prodigal son Dane. With good reason. Dane MacHenry is furious when, on his return, he finds his homestead in grave decline. Unaware that his father has been drinking his way through his inheritance, he blames Georgina, and Georgina decides she has no option but to leave. Unfortunately, she chooses Dane's horse to flee on, and when Dane learns she has stolen his prized stallion, he gives chase.

From this point, their fates become intertwined with that of a businessman with a dark secret, Conor Foley, who offers Georgina apparent security: a marriage with status in the emerging nouveau riche echelons of Melbourne. But none of them could imagine the toll the changing political and social landscape would have on homes, hearts, and families.

Will Georgina's path lead her into grave danger and unhappiness, or will she survive and fulfill her destiny?

Just one thing, it faintly in the background, sounded like it had been recorded in a submarine.

Loved the story, not so much the narrator who made the male voices too breathy & weak.
Ebbs & flows in the story line parallels the water in the Murray
