AU Author. It is 1957 and, after the death of her husband, pianist Ilona Talivaldis and her nineyear- old daughter Zidra travel to the remote coastal town of Jingera in New South Wales. Ilona, a concentration camp survivor from Latvia, is searching for peace and an opportunity to start anew. In her beautiful vine-covered cottage on the edge of the lagoon, she plans to set herself up as a piano teacher. But Jingera is not quite the utopia Ilona imagines it to be - and at risk is the one thing Ilona holds dear.
