Such a fabulous author of thrillers, I always end up kicking myself when I let these books linger too long.
From the Blurb:
A mesmerising tale of three women who must overcome the past and beat the odds to find hope for the future.
German immigrant, Ilse Klein, lives sedately in Central Otago with her mother, but their peaceful summer is fractured when Ilse, during her nightly swim in the river, discovers one of her young students on the riverbank about to give birth. She must decide whether to shelter the girl and endanger herself and her mother, or to tread the route of safety in the face of corruption and brutality she had thought left far behind in the years of her childhood.
A mesmerising tale of three women who must find the courage to overcome the past and beat the odds to find hope for the future.
