Her remote, cruel grandfather was one of the regime's generals and as she sifts through the dusty rooms, Helena discovers an array of valuable objects and antiquities. How did her grandfather amass such a trove? What human price was paid for them?

As the eldest girl among nine children, her father has made it clear he can't support her past the coming winter. On the small, Scottish island of St Kilda, her options are limited. But the MacKinnons' neighbour, Donald, has a business acquaintance on distant Harris also in need of a spouse. A plan is hatched for Donald to chaperone Mhairi and make the introduction on his final crossing of the year, before the autumn seas close them off to the outside world. Mhairi returns as an engaged woman who has lost her heart - but not to her fiancé. In love with the wrong man yet knowing he can never be hers, she awaits the spring with growing dread, for the onset of calm waters will see her sent from home to become a stranger's wife.

Only, those last days on St Kilda will also bring trauma and heartache for Mhairi and her friends, Effie and Flora.

This overdue corrective reveals what a healed femur says about civilisation, what men have to fear from hat pins, and it shows that the past has always been as complicated and fascinating as the women that peopled it.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Author: </span>Hirsch, Annabelle<br />MP3 edition ; Unabridged.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Published: </span>[Melbourne, Vic.] : Bolinda audio, 2024.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Published: </span>©2023<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Published: </span>℗2024<br />1 audio disc (MP3 CD) (12 hr., 15 min.) : digital, stereo ; 12 cm ; in container<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Image available online</span><br /><br />Dalby Library - (Western Downs Libraries) - Audio Book - CDB 305.409 HIR - Available - W00203830<br /> https://westerndowns.spydus.com/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/WPAC/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&BRN=268712&CF=BIB 1983, Moscow.

It's where he grew up with his dad, where he went to school and met his best friend Ella. But the town is dying: the river has dried up, and with it all the jobs. One night at the pub, on the anniversary of his dad's death, Norm announces a plan. He's going to build a Big Thing – like Coffs Harbour's Big Banana or Ballina's Big Prawn – to drive tourism to the town and give it a future. And to show Ella that she could have a future here too, maybe even with him. ELLA, meanwhile, plans to leave Norman for the big smoke. She's tired of being a big fish in a small pond, especially when that pond is running out of water. Ella encourages Norm's big idea nonetheless. If it works, Norm will have a four-metre-high reminder of her. And if not, at least they'll have one last perfect summer together. Will Norm from Norman build a Big Thing in time to save his town, and to convince the girl of his dreams she belongs here too – or is it too late? NORM has lived in Norman his whole life.
