"An immersive and engrossing mystery." --Tania Blanchard, bestselling author

"A masterfully crafted dual timeline." --Tea Cooper, USA TODAY bestselling author

Two women. One shipwreck. And four centuries of secrets.

Shortly before Christmas in 2018, Tess McCarthy, after years as a hard-working English teacher who never did anything out of the ordinary, flies to Western Australia's remote Abrolhos Islands. She is in search of answers--both to the infamous Batavia shipwreck and her personal family crises.

In 1628, Saskia, an orphaned young Dutchwoman, boards Batavia with relatives, bound for a new and potentially dangerous life in the East Indies--only for her world to first collide with Aris Jansz, the ship's taciturn under surgeon.

Tess, Saskia, and Aris--their lives linked by secrets that span generations--carry the baggage of past losses and the uncertainty of their futures. And, in the most unlikely circumstances, they may find qualities that echo through centuries: faith, acceptance, and love.

A woman searching for answers in her own life finds them--and much more--in the wreckage and haunting stories of the Batavia shipwreck.

Previously published in Australia as Daughters of Batavia.

Reseñas de la crítica

'A masterfully crafted dual timeline that seamlessly weaves past and present into a rich tapestry, bringing four centuries of secrets vividly to life.'
'Evocative and compelling! An immersive and engrossing mystery. This wonderful debut by Stefanie Koens kept me enthralled to the last page. A beautiful synergy between the present and the past, between history and a richly drawn portrayal of the personal stories of those who perished and those who survived the famous shipwreck of the Batavia. Heartbreaking and heartwarming.'
'Koens's exhilarating novel quite swept me away with its gripping historical settings aboard ship . . . Using even, well-executed plot tension and a straightforward narrative style, Koens leads us to the inevitable sickening end of this true tale, thoroughly convincing in its speculation about the progression of events, character arcs and survival on various islands in the chain . . . Recommended for the calamitous history it exposes and the sheer strength of will exhibited by the survivors.'
'The ill-fated 1628 voyage of the Batavia links two women across centuries in this resonant debut from Koens . . . Saskia's story is textured and suspenseful, and it's inspiring to watch both heroines work to overcome their losses and build a hopeful future. Fans of Laura Frantz and Gabrielle Meyer will want to dive in.'
