The bombing of Darwin in 1942 shocked Australia and brought it directly into the Pacific War. Faith Brodie and her brother, Joe, escape the devastation and chaos aboard Joe's island trading ketch Faraway, along with Joe's lifelong friend Koko, an Australian-born Japanese fleeing internment. But the fortunes of war soon send them in disparate but equally testing directions.
Against a backdrop of wartime dislocation, Faith, Joe and Koko must fight personal battles: Joe in the harsh territory of the Top End, against a brutal, covert enemy, Koko against a society that appears to have deserted him; and Faith against the machinations of someone intent on keeping her from the man she loves.
'Someday Soon' is a gripping story of intrigue and romance, in which heroism, cruelty and prejudice all play their part.
