ALL THE GOLDEN LIGHT
Early Praise:
‘Heartstopping…O’Brien shows a deft hand navigating tragedy, grief, and above all, hope’ - Alli Parker

Synopsis
1918. The war is ending…but hers is just beginning
As the Great War grinds to an end, Ada accompanies her father to a rugged island in New South Wales to deliver much-needed supplies. Loss and deprivation have decimated Australia, and she is determined to live a life of purpose and hope.
On the remote rocky outcrop she meets Emmett Huxley, lighthouse keeper, an outsider taking refuge from the damage of the war. Ada and Emmett are inexorably drawn together, but her future has been mapped out with the decorated returned soldier Donal Blaxland, a land-owner with a large tobacco plantation.
When police charges are brought against the lighthouse keeper, Ada is distraught and forced to make a choice about her future, but discovers that Donal, now her husband, harbours terrible secrets of his own. Soon she finds herself a prisoner to the trauma and suffering that war has wreaked on the returned soldier.
As she begins to understand the depths of Donal’s desperation, she knows she must leave. Between the treacherous waters of the coast and the rocky outcrops of an ancient land, Ada is determined to live and love on her own terms.
A stirring, dramatic story about love and suffering, trauma and addiction – and hope in the darkest of times.
