About This Book
In 1946, in the northern Australian fishing town of Broome, Hartley Penrose remembers. He remembers his parents; the storm that tore open his leg; his sister, whose strength brought him out of despair; and the racism that roiled Broome in the days before World War II. Most of all, he thinks of Mitsy Sennosuke, the warm and beautiful girl next door, the girl he loved and betrayed.Order From Scholastic
