On board a barque sailing to the South Pacific, young Kay feels unwanted on her sister’s honeymoon voyage. But Thea will not abandon her young sister, and so Kay accompanies Thea on a life-changing voyage. When Thea forms a bond with a young boy from a remote island, taking him away as her son, Kay is forced to examine her own assumptions about what is forgivable, and what is right.
Marina Endicott will be in conversation with Jacqueline Baker.
