Produktbeschreibung
Pregnant, abandoned, and homeless, Maureen battles to survive a Swedish winter until help arrives in the form of a mysterious woman with a veiled past. With the prospect of being deported, Maureen learns who her real friends are, especially when she faces suspicion due to her links to a suspected criminal. Meanwhile in Australia, Maureen's family is scrambling to help her when the health of her unscrupulous father declines and he needs the intervention of his estranged family members to salvage both his dignity and finances. In this engaging, rollicking yet poignant sequel to Lillian's Eden, we see Maureen's ambition to explore the world encounter its harsh realities, and her mother Lillian using her resourcefulness and intelligence to tackle the ongoing family dramas at home. This is a novel about women in the world in the 1960s, both at home and abroad, and their resilience and capacity to manage their lives at a time when others want to take that independence and decision-making from them.

Autorenporträt
Australian Cheryl Adam spent her childhood in rural Australia where her love of storytelling began. In adulthood, she travelled widely and lived overseas including in Zambia (then Northern Rhodesia), Kenya, South Africa, Norway, Jersey, England, and Sweden. She has been evicted, kidnapped, abandoned, made homeless, and discriminated against in her foreign adventures and this helped develop her deep empathy for the plight of immigrant women, as for Lillian in this story. In the 1960s, she was deported from Kenya and arrived as an unwanted guest in Sweden.
