Shadowlines

Aboriginal love story amidst racial division in early 20th century Australia.
Shadow Lines tells the story of Jessie Argyle, born in the remote East Kimberley, and Edward Smith, a young Englishman escaping London. In a society divided by race, they meet and fall in love.

Against strong opposition, they marry and create a home that becomes a haven for Aboriginal cultural and social life. But unrelenting surveillance and harassment threaten their family. Shadow Lines explores themes of identity, resilience, and the enduring power of love in the face of injustice. For readers of Australian history and heartfelt personal stories.
