About this product

Product Information

Caro, gallant and adventurous, is one of two Australian sisters who have come to post-war England to seek their fortunes. Courted long and hopelessly by young scientist, Ted Tice, she is to find that love brings passion, sorrow, betrayal and finally hope. The milder Grace seeks fulfilment in an apparently happy marriage. But as the decades pass and the characters weave in and out of each other's lives, love, death and two slow-burning secrets wait in ambush for them.

    Great service. Item arrived 14th May 2025. As described. Well packaged. A good seller. A good price. Book in unused condition. Like most recent Helion publications this is a soft back book. It has plenty of illustrations inside.

  • Distinguished highbrow fiction

    This is frankly a highbrow novel, not for readers in search of quick thrills and page-turners. But if you love serious fiction, THE TRANSIT OF VENUS will give you fascinating characters, intriguing action, mystery, and a very distinctive prose style.
