The Bay is a beautiful and peaceful town on the Australian east coast; a melting pot of city escapees, alternative lifestylers, feral dropouts, lost souls, backpackers, and men and women in search of love and a new sense of identity.
When Sydney corporate wife Holly Jamieson turns 45 she shocks her husband by buying an old house in The Bay with plans to transform it into a charming B & B.
What began as a gesture of independence changes her life. Holly soon discovers that beneath its tranquil surface, The Bay is a whirlpool of passions and conflict. It was once a whaling town, then a sleepy resort that became trendy, and now developers are moving in for the kill. Holly, her family, and an unusual band of new friends are in the battle lines - and not always on the same side.

" Lovely story, great insight into pearling days of old and the hardships faced. Certainly one of Di's better books. "
" I read this on the recommendation of an Australian friend. It was very good for the history of north-west Australia. However, the "epic" love story was a bit overdone--too many convenient occurrences. "
" I have read most of her books and have enjoyed them all. Specially enjoyed the Kimberley ones as you can really feel what she writes about. "
" One of the best books I have read in yrs. Loved it. "
" Not literature but a fabulous read about the Pearl industry in Australia "
" This is one of my favorite books ever!! The start is slow and boring but once you get past it, the story is totally engrossing. I was very sad when it was over. And the follow-up is not all that good :( "
