Inhaltsangabe

In this highly acclaimed novel, life isn t all Emmy and Virginia Simpson anticipated. When Emmy s marriage ends, she flees her home in Sydney to find herself on the island of Bali only to become embroiled with a crew of international misfits and smugglers. Her prim and pious sister Virginia, meanwhile, has never wandered far outside of London. Struggling to find meaning, Virginia follows her aging mother s advice to vacation on the Isle of Skye. On these two islands halfway around the world, the middle-aged sisters confront the costs of self-knowledge and their destinies with unexpected consequences.
