Description
Lucy Fox is sailing to Melbourne in 1906 with her sister Rosa, when a tragic landfall leaves her life entangled with three seamen: gentle Sam, cynical Danny and beautiful Gideon.
After Rosa's scandalous elopement, trader Min-lu draws Lucy into a new world of silks and spices and the silvery pearlshell of Broome: a port in the wild Australian north-west where breaking the rules is a way of life.
The Great War begins and Lucy's lover must go to sea, where ruthless U-boats are stalking the last of the great sailing ships.
But even when peace returns, the influenza pandemic comes with it … and Lucy, far from home, discovers how bitterly she has been betrayed.
Silver Highways is the foundation novel of the Tempo series, by the winner of the Mountbatten Maritime Award and the Western Australian Premier's Book Award for Non-Fiction.

Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the eARC.
It's 1906 and Lucy and Rosa Fox are on their way to Melbourne by ship, when they have an unfortunate
docking. Rosa elopes...
3 Seamen enter Lucy's life and trader Min-Lu introduces Lucy to a wondrous and exotic life in Broome.
It's 1914 and the start of WWI which forces Lucy's lover to join the fight.
After the war, the terrible flu pandemic hits, Lucy is far from home and she faces her terrible betrayal.
This is such a poignant story and I loved Lucy and Min-Lu. With everything going on in our world now it definitely made me realize how true the saying 'history repeats itself' is. This is a stunning, romantic history novel that I highly recommend.
