À propos de cet audio

An orphaned young math prodigy in need of family. A painting that shatters a woman’s peace. And a decades-old mystery demanding to be solved.

Australia, 1906: Orphan Jane Piper is nine years old when philanthropist siblings Michael and Elizabeth Quinn take her into their home to further her schooling. The Quinns are no strangers to hardship. Having arrived in Australia as penniless immigrants, they now care for others as lost as they once were.

Despite Jane’s mysterious past, her remarkable aptitude for mathematics takes her far over the next seven years, and her relationship with Elizabeth and Michael flourishes as she plays an increasingly prominent part in their business.

But when Elizabeth reacts in terror to an exhibition at the local gallery, Jane realizes no one knows Elizabeth after all—not even Elizabeth herself. As the past and present converge and Elizabeth’s grasp on reality loosens, Jane sets out to unravel her story before it’s too late.

From the gritty reality of the Australian goldfields to the grand institutions of Sydney, this compelling novel presents a mystery that spans continents and decades as both women finally discover a place to call home.

...the narrator needed to move back from the microphone. Her gasping indrawn breath every time just before she started to speak was distracting and annoying. I only finished because the story was interesting.

Good story but...

This is an interesting story for sure. More Elizabeth and Michael’s story than Jane the orphans like I was expecting, but all enjoyable. The thing is, the narrator takes frequent gasping breaths which can be both distracting and annoying, so I’d recommend reading this book on your own rather than listening on Audible for the best experience.
