Carmel March's life had been shrouded by secrets from the very beginning. First she is brought up by a couple who found her wandering in their gardens at Commonwood, then a tragedy at Commonwood sweeps her off to Australia where she meets a young man who dreams of making his fortune in the opal mines. Carmel always feels drawn back to the England of her youth, so she returns only to find she had been rushed away from the scene of a murder those many years ago.
