Description: 1933. Elizabeth Castleton travels to Papua New Guinea with her husband -- the new administrator of a troubled colonial regime. In search of fulfilment beyond her stifling marriage, she stumbles into a dangerous relationship with a native police sergeant. But in a society divided by race, there is much more at stake than their happiness... 1997. Embroiled in a situation that could topple the government, Edward Murray traces the mystery of his grandfather's identity back to one man in Port Moresby. The answers shock him; and, as unrest in Papua grows, the past seems no more certain than the future.
