I enjoyed The Secrets at Ocean's Edge by Kali Napier which is set in a Western Australian seaside town in the early 1930s. Ernie, his wife Lily and their daughter Girlie want to make a success at their new home but they become haunted by the past from which they've escaped. Lily teaches Girlie to play the piano and hopes she will become friends with the "respectable" people in the town. Ernie wants to start a business but there are obstacles to be overcome. Lily's brother Tommy, a World War I veteran finds them and stays. Will they all make a success of their new life or will the secrets from their past prevent that? 4/5
