A cursed opal, a gnarled family tree, and a sinister
woman in a green dress emerge in the aftermath of World War I.
After a whirlwind romance, London teashop waitress Fleur
Richards can’t wait for her new husband, Hugh, to return from the Great War.
But when word of his death arrives on Armistice Day, Fleur learns he has left
her a sizable family fortune. Refusing to accept the inheritance, she heads to
his beloved home country of Australia in search of the relatives who deserve it
more.
In spite of her reluctance, she soon finds herself the sole
owner of a remote farm and a dilapidated curio shop full of long-forgotten
artifacts, remarkable preserved creatures, and a mystery that began more than
sixty-five years ago. With the help of Kip, a repatriated soldier dealing with
the sobering aftereffects of war, Fleur finds herself unable to resist pulling
on the threads of the past. What she finds is a shocking story surrounding an
opal and a woman in a green dress. . . a story that, nevertheless, offers hope
and healing for the future.
This romantic mystery from award-winning Australian novelist
Tea Cooper will keep readers guessing until the astonishing conclusion.
