1920. Having disobeyed the wishes of her aristocratic family, Lulu Pearson, a young and talented Tasmanian sculptress, finds herself alone in London in the wake of the Great War. The future is looking bright until, on the eve of her first exhibition, Lulu learns she has inherited a racing colt called Ocean Child from a mysterious benefactor, and she must return to her homeland to claim him. Baffled by the news, Lulu boards a ship to Tasmania to uncover the truth behind the strange bequest, but it seems a welcome return is more than she can hope for. Unbeknownst to Lulu, more than a few fortunes ride on Ocean Child's success - it seems everyone from her estranged mother to the stable hands has a part to play, and an interest in keeping the family secrets buried.
"Seit Kindertagen lebt die junge Bildhauerin Lulu bei einer Tante in England, da gibt ein Brief aus Tasmanien ihr Rätsel auf: Ein Fremder teilt ihr mit, dass sie auf der australischen Insel, ihrem Geburtsort, ein wertvolles Rennpferd besitzt. Gegen den Widerstand der Tante reist Lulu in die alte Heimat. Sie möchte das Rätsel lösen und endlich ihren Vater finden, der sich nie zu ihr bekannt hat. Bei der Ankunft wird Lulu beinahe von einer Kutsche überrollt - ein dreister Anschlag auf ihr Leben. Als ihr überall Feindseligkeit entgegenschlägt, begreift Lulu: In ihrer Familie gibt es ein dunkles Geheimnis, das sie aufklären muss. Nur Joe Reilly, der sympathische Trainer ihres Rennpferds, hält zu Lulu. Er verliebt sich in die mutige Frau, die sich von niemandem einschüchtern lässt, und bringt sie - ohne es zu ahnen - erst recht in Gefahr."
"Hauptbeschreibung Dort am Horizont lag der unverkennbare Landfleck, den sie seit sechzehn Jahren nicht gesehen hatte. Ihr Herz hämmerte, und sie hielt sich an der Reling fest, vor Tränen fast blind, während die Rotamahana Richtung Süden dampfte und der Fleck immer deutlicher wurde. Tasmanien. Als Lulu nach vielen Jahren in ihre Heimat zurückkehrt, folgt sie einem rätselhaften Brief: Ein Fremder teilt ihr mit, dass sie auf der australischen Insel ein wertvolles Rennpferd besitzt. Doch in Tasmanien schlägt ihr nichts als Feindseligkeit entgegen. Schon kurz nach ihrer Ankunft."
"Door een brief van een Tasmaanse paardentrainer wordt een in Engeland wonende jonge beeldhouwster in 1920 geconfronteerd met het verleden van haar ouders en oudtante."
