V ten \u010das panuj\u00ed v Ji\u017en\u00ed Austr\u00e1lii velk\u00e1 horka, a tak se pan\u00ed Izzy Turnerov\u00e1 se sv\u00fdmi \u010dty\u0159mi d\u011btmi rozhodne str\u00e1vit den piknikem u bl\u00edzk\u00e9 t\u016fn\u011b nedaleko jejich velkolep\u00e9ho s\u00eddla.

O n\u011bkolik let pozd\u011bji lond\u00fdnsk\u00e1 novin\u00e1\u0159ka Jess zoufale pot\u0159ebuje napsat dobr\u00fd \u010dl\u00e1nek, aby se dostala z mizern\u00e9 finan\u010dn\u00ed situace. Ve\u0161ker\u00e9 jej\u00ed \u00fasil\u00ed odsune stranou jeden nal\u00e9hav\u00fd telefon\u00e1t. Jej\u00ed babi\u010dka Nora \u017eij\u00edc\u00ed v Austr\u00e1lii spadla ze schod\u016f a le\u017e\u00ed v nemocnici.

Vyd\u00e1 se tedy na cestu zp\u011bt do sv\u00e9 rodn\u00e9 Austr\u00e1lie.<\/p>\n
\u201cI t\u011bm nejlep\u0161\u00edm lidem se mohou p\u0159ihodit zl\u00e9 v\u011bci a my nesm\u00edme dopustit, aby n\u00e1s p\u0159emohly. V \u017eivot\u011b to n\u011bkdy nejde tak, jak jsme si p\u0159edstavovali, ale nakonec to v\u017edycky n\u011bjak dopadne.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Na svou matku Polly bohu\u017eel Jess zanev\u0159ela. Kdy\u017e bylo Jess deset let, odvedla ji k No\u0159e. Slibovala, \u017ee to bude jen na rok a pak si ji Polly odveze do Brisbane, kde z\u00edskala novou pr\u00e1ci. Nestalo se tak. Jess z\u016fstala \u017e\u00edt u sv\u00e9 babi\u010dky a\u017e do doby, ne\u017e se rozhodla vydat se svou vlastn\u00ed cestou a odlet\u011bt do Lond\u00fdna. Proto je Nora pro ni v\u0161\u00edm. Je pevn\u00fdm bodem v jej\u00edm zvl\u00e1\u0161tn\u00edm, neuspo\u0159\u00e1dan\u00e9m \u017eivot\u011b.<\/p>\n P\u0159esto\u017ee Jess sp\u011bch\u00e1 za svou babi\u010dkou do nemocnice, nem\u00e1 mo\u017enost s n\u00ed mluvit. Jedin\u00e9, co od Nory zaslechne, jsou zmaten\u00e1 slova a v\u011bty. A pr\u00e1v\u011b tam Jess poprv\u00e9 zaslechne to divn\u00e9 slovo Halcyon. A tak se za\u010dne p\u00eddit po dal\u0161\u00edch informac\u00edch. Do rukou se j\u00ed dostane kniha, je\u017e vypr\u00e1v\u00ed o tragick\u00e9 ud\u00e1losti z roku 1959, kter\u00e1 ot\u0159\u00e1sla tou dobou celou Austr\u00e1lii. Jak \u0161okuj\u00edc\u00ed je zji\u0161t\u011bn\u00ed, \u017ee tento d\u011bsiv\u00fd p\u0159\u00edpad vra\u017edy se t\u00fdk\u00e1 jej\u00ed vlastn\u00ed rodiny.<\/p>\n \u201cNora se nikdy netajila minulost\u00ed, ani kdy\u017e \u0161lo o nevesel\u00e9 ud\u00e1losti. Dok\u00e1zala hovo\u0159it o nevyda\u0159en\u00e9m man\u017eelstv\u00ed, o osam\u011blosti v d\u011btstv\u00ed, o ne\u00fasp\u011b\u0161\u00edch v pr\u00e1ci. V\u011bd\u011bla, \u017ee p\u0159ed minulost\u00ed \u010dlov\u011bk neute\u010de, v\u0161echno se nast\u0159\u00e1d\u00e1 jako z\u00e1klad lidsk\u00e9 osobnosti.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Pro\u010d tedy p\u0159ed Jess cel\u00fd \u017eivot ml\u010dela o ud\u00e1losti, kter\u00e1 se stala v Halcyonu? A v\u011bd\u011bla snad Nora je\u0161t\u011b n\u011bco v\u00edc, ne\u017e se p\u00ed\u0161e v knize? A co Polly? Ta byla zasv\u011bcena do p\u0159\u00edpadu z roku 1959 nebo i j\u00ed Nora tajila ve\u0161ker\u00e9 informace? Cht\u011bla snad ob\u011b p\u0159ed n\u011b\u010d\u00edm ochr\u00e1nit? Proto\u017ee Jess chce zn\u00e1t pravdu, vyd\u00e1 se po stop\u00e1ch t\u00e9to bolestn\u00e9 ud\u00e1losti a za\u010dne sb\u00edrat ve\u0161ker\u00e9 st\u0159\u00edpky p\u0159\u00edb\u011bhu, jen\u017e nejen ovlivnil, ale p\u0159edev\u0161\u00edm zni\u010dil \u017eivot tolika lid\u00ed\u2026.<\/p>\n Na p\u0159ebalu t\u00e9to knihy je naps\u00e1no, \u017ee je to nejlep\u0161\u00ed kniha Mortonov\u00e9 a j\u00e1 nemohu ne\u017e souhlasit. V\u0161echny jej\u00ed knihy jsou fascinuj\u00edc\u00ed. Ka\u017ed\u00fd p\u0159\u00edb\u011bh je promy\u0161len\u00fd do nejmen\u0161\u00edho detailu.
