Happiest following the trade her father taught her, Della has no wish to return to Sydney. But the unexpected arrival of Captain Stefan von Richter, on a quest to retrieve what could be Australia's first opal, precipitates Della's return to Sydney and her Curio Shop of Wonders, where she discovers her enigmatic aunt, Cordelia, is selling more than curiosities to collectors. Strange things are afoot and Della, a fly in a spider's web, is caught up in events with unimaginable consequences.1919 Sydney, NSW When London tea-shop waitress Fleur Richards inherits land and wealth in Australia from her husband, Hugh, killed in the war, she wants nothing to do with it. After all, accepting it will mean Hugh really is dead. But Hugh's lawyer is insistent, and so she finds herself ensconced in the Berkeley Hotel in Sydney, the reluctant owner of a Hawkesbury property and an old curio shop, now desolate and boarded up. As the real story of her inheritance unravels, Fleur finds herself in the company of a damaged returned soldier Kip, holding a thread that takes her deep into the past, a thread that could unravel a mystery surrounding an opal and a woman in a green dress; a green that is the color of envy, the color buried deep within an opal, the color of poison. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Young women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Inheritance and succession $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Opals $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Australia $x History $y 1788-1900 $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Withoos, Casey, $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12669302?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/hpc_9780785235187_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20210202014130.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A23CA5364F2711EB9A63D65926ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
