  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  1989, Botswana. 
  A marriage on the edge. A death that still haunts the desert. 
  When the Australian pilots’ dispute explodes, journalist Verity White and her airline-pilot husband, James, see their hard-won careers collapse overnight. Bound by loyalty and fifteen years of history, Verity follows James to Botswana, where the wild beauty of the Okavango Delta promises a fresh start—and instead exposes every fracture in their marriage. 
  Adrift in the isolated safari camps, Verity stumbles on the echoes of an old tragedy: a hunting trip in the Kalahari that ended in a young man’s death. As she begins to ask questions, she’s drawn into the orbit of Starky Willis, a charismatic safari operator with a past knotted tightly to that night—and to whispers of illegal wildlife killings that stain the desert silence. 
  As poachers, old loyalties and buried guilt converge, Verity must decide what she’s willing to risk: her marriage, her life, or her chance to finally reclaim herself in a land where every choice has a cost.

  A woman lies unconscious on the carpet of a smart Westminster apartment, one red high-heeled shoe has fallen off... A younger woman lies with her eyes closed, half-hidden under a drinks cabinet... Her fingers clutch an empty bottle... What happens when a mother withholds her love? When she has no love to withhold? When she sees her three daughters as obstacles to her own formidable career? This is the story of three sisters, Millie, Di and Cleo. They are the war babies. Growing up in a world still in turmoil, hungover from war, the sisters struggle to leave behind their mother and build their own lives. Each sister is lost in her own world where extreme need leads to extreme behaviour. Then a tragic event forces Cleo, the youngest and wildest, to become the catalyst to smash the pattern. Who will adapt and survive in this new world? Who will find peace? From London to New York and to Vietnam, the focus shifts from one sister to the next, putting human nature, its flaws and its virtues, under the spotlight.
