Synopsis
Margaret-Rose Bennett, like her elder sister, Elizabeth, was named after an English princess. But Elizabeth is dead, and Margaret-Rose is aware that there is something unspoken in her family. The truth is elusive in their strained English household in 1950s New Zealand.Studying at university, Margaret-Rose makes friends with Emily and Prudence. By day, they work in a government office and study hard for their degrees; by night they sing, drink and laugh with a group of people very different from themselves. The love and the music of those nights is etched in their hearts forever, and the girls discover a new, enchanting world, one with an underbelly of struggle, colour, passion and hidden violence. A world, perhaps, not so far removed from Margaret-Rose's own secret history.

As the boat drifts out of control, suspicion falls on everyone aboard - including Ethelred.
