When Sabine Winters attended the grand opening of the hotel in December 1939 she did not anticipate the events that would lead her to Uruguay where she would be risking her life investigating Nazi sympathisers.
When the casino opens in Hobart, Jenny Davies has the opportunity to become a Ladybird, one of the casino staff. This results in her leaving home and making friends in a very different environment from the one she grew up in.
In her new novel Mary-Lou Stephens provides us with the events that dramatically changed the lives of these two women, along with their back stories, until the stories become intertwined by the end of the book. The hotel maintains an important role throughout the book.
