The Chettle Sisters' Big Break
Nineteen-year-old identical twins Violet and Daisie Chettle can hardly believe their luck when they are recruited as maids to accompany the Queen's Lady-in-Waiting on the royal tour to Australia in 1954. It's just the ticket they need to escape cold, grey England and the tension that's been brewing at home since the loss of their parents.
However, life on board the SS Gothic and in the colony is far from the glamorous adventure they expected. Their relationship becomes even more strained when one twin discovers her sister's unconscionable act of betrayal.
Struggles in a New Land
As they travel from the bustling streets of Sydney to the remote sheep stations of Dubbo, they try to make the best of it. Diligent Violet juggles commands from her superiors with the attentions of handsome Aussie driver Jack, while ambitious Daisie seeks love in all the wrong places while clawing her way to the top deck.
An opportunity to meet their estranged aunt living in the vast outback promises hope for a new future - but have these girls ventured too far from home to ever find their way back?
A Tale of Family and Betrayal
Based around one of the biggest true events in Australian history - the 1954 royal tour by the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II - this is a wickedly entertaining novel about the rifts and rivalries that can be found in every family, Royal or not.
