Australia, the first third of the twentieth century. The country is still prosperous, still living with the rhythms of jazz and tango, although the “fat years” are about to be replaced by a dark streak of crisis. However, no matter what the time, no trials can extinguish the will to live Pastor Latimer's four daughters and their willingness to risk everything for the right to make their dreams come true. A brilliant career and secular success, passionate love and the joy of motherhood. They will have everything. How there will be tragic losses, and cruel disappointments, and sharp turns of fate, when everything will have to start from the very beginning... Four sisters. Four life stories...Colin McCullough once again gives readers a whole world in which everyone will find something incredibly important for themselves.
