Interwoven with the history of World War II, Hobart’s Riviera Hotel, and the origins of Australia’s first casino, this dual‑timeline tale is steeped in glamour and intrigue, following two women who risk everything to survive.
A whole-life epic following the life, travels, learnings and teachings of a girl who disguises herself as a monk to join a monastery after she is orphaned. Incredible storytelling - bodily, tense, unexpected - that kept me curious and eager until the very end.
