Esther Wilding’s treasured sister Aura disappeared a year ago. Her family persuades heartbroken Esther to retrace Aura’s journey from their hometown in Iutruwita, Tasmania to Copenhagen and beyond, following the clues Aura left in a journal: seven evocative verses she penned, accompanied by pictures of art and references to mythical tales of women, swans and selkies. With this captivating novel, Holly Ringland has created a story that reaches across space and time to bring readers together. We join Esther in her quest for answers, and with her, gain appreciation for the ways we find our family, blood or otherwise, and our own sense of belonging.
