Silver Highways

In 1906, Lucy Fox is sailing to Melbourne with her sister Rosa, when a tragic landfall leaves her life entangled with three seamen: gentle Sam, cynical Danny and beautiful Gideon. After Rosa's scandalous elopement, Lucy discovers a new world of silks, spices and pearlshell in the wild port of Broome, where breaking the rules is a way of life. But the Great War begins and Lucy's beloved must go to sea, where U-boats are stalking the last of the merchant sailing ships. And when peace returns, the influenza pandemic comes with it.
