About this book

Three women, linked by the ocean, live in different centuries: Hana, a marine biologist documenting the decline of the Great Barrier Reef; Judith, a teenager voyaging from Sydney in 1839; and Telma, who in a ravaged 22nd century investigates a sighting of a species thought extinct. A meditation on past, present and future that mourns a disappearing world and hopes for a better one.
