London, 1949.Diana Hardie is tired of grey skies and ration books.When her family decides to emigrate to Australia in search of post-war opportunity and adventure, she sees her cha nce - not just for a fresh start, but for the story that will make her name as an author.Armed with a caravan, a small dog, a typewriter, and her brother's camera, the family set out to collect stories across the vast Australian outback. The plan is simple: drive, write, photograph, publish.But the outback has other ideas.When a blown tire leaves them stranded at a remote sheep ranch with no hope of repair, the days stretch into weeks. Days of dust, heat, and dwindling hope.Then, out of the shimmering horizon, a travelling circus rolls into view.And nothing will ever be the same again. Show more
