Paediatric surgeon Claire Bowerman has reluctantly returned to Auckland from London. Calm, rational and in control, she loves delicately repairing her patient's small wounds. Tragically, wounds sometimes made by the childrens own families.
Yossi wants
to marry Claire. He thinks theyve come to the safest place on earth, worlds away from the violence he knew growing up. He revels in the glorious summer, the idyllic islands of the gulf. But Roimata, Claires fifteen-year-old daughter, is full of questions. Why is Claire so secretive about her past? Why wont she talk to the man who could solve the mystery that dominated her childhood? All Claire wants to do is run. This is a novel about a woman caught between the past and the present. And about her need to keep everybody safe. Especially herself.
