In 1913, a little girl arrives in Brisbane, Australia, and is taken in by a dockmaster and his wife. She doesn?t know her name, and the only clue to her identity is a book of fairy tales tucked inside a white suitcase. When the girl, called Nell, grows up, she starts to piece together bits of her story, but just as she's on the verge of going to England to trace the mystery to its source, her grandaughter, Cassandra, is left in her care. |
