About All the Golden Light
1918, Belowla, south coast New South Wales. As the Great War grinds to an end, Adelaide Roberts accompanies her father to a rugged island off the south coast of New South Wales to deliver much-needed supplies. While loss and deprivation has decimated the country, Ada is determined to live a life of purpose and hope, and dreams of living an independent life.
On the windswept rocky outcrop she meets lighthouse keeper Emmett Huxley, a dark-eyed outsider haunted by his service in France, taking refuge from the damage of the war.
Adelaide and Emmett are inexorably drawn together, but Adelaide discovers plans have been made for her with the decorated returned soldier Donal Blaxland, a local land-owner with a large tobacco plantation.
Soon, Adelaide is forced to make a choice about her future, and discovers that Donal harbours terrible secrets of his own. As she begins to understand the depths of Donal’s desperation, as she begins to understand the depths of Donal's desperation, Adelaide knows she must leave - and between the treacherous waters of the coast and the rugged ranges of an ancient land, she fights for her survival, determined to live and love on her own terms.
A moving, uplifting story about love, trauma and addiction - and hope in the darkest of times, with echoes of Birdsong, My Brilliant Career and The Light Between Oceans.
