Women's Fiction
The choices of the past echo through the generations in
this moving New Zealand saga tracing the lives of the
Sandle family, first encountered in Kidman’s Songs from
the Violet Café When war widow Irene Sandle goes to work in New Zealand’s
tobacco fields in 1952, she hopes to start a new,
independent life for herself and her daughter – but the
tragic repercussions of her decision will resonate long
after Irene has gone. Each of Irene’s children carries the events of their
childhood throughout their lives, played out against a
backdrop of great change – new opportunities emerge for
women, but social problems continue to hold many back.
Headstrong Belinda becomes a successful filmmaker, but
struggles to deal with her own family drama as her
younger siblings are haunted by the past. A sweeping saga covering half a century, this is a
powerful exploration of family ties and heartbreaks, and
of learning to live with the past
