"...an engaging novel which draws deeply on his own richly varied experience for its substance.  Its primary setting is Wirril Creek in the rural North Coast area of New South Wales.  Denny Cardin is the main character, who, widowed and remarried, revisits the little settlement where he lived with his first wife, Anna, during the years following his return fro World War Two.
The visit turns out to be more than a pleasant sentimental journey.  Memories are evoked, not only of Denny's earlier days there, but also of his years in a Japanese prison camp.  The process of remembering is painful; he has avoided it for years.  Strong emotions are released for Denny, as well as for others in the community, like his one-time friend, Tom Hayworth, who now seeks to destroy him."
