A forgotten voyage. A forbidden name. A secret that crosses oceans.

1938. Shy nineteen-year-old, Nora O'Brien, leaves behind her life in rural Ireland and boards a ship bound for Australia - carrying little more than a valise and a secret. On board she meets glamorous and unconventional Flo, and begins a thrilling but dangerous journey of self-discovery.

2004. Helen cannot forget her mother's dying words - 'find Verity'. Starting at the library where Nora worked, she begins to trace a faint trail that leads her to embark on a voyage of her own. But is she ready for the truth behind her mother's instruction?

As Helen draws closer to Verity, might she glimpse the chance of a braver future of her own?

Moving between Nora's ocean crossing, and Helen's search for a woman she has never heard of, The Librarian's Secret is a sweeping, emotional mystery for fans of Laura Pearson, Sally Page, Kate Storey and Evie Woods - about the power of the past, the perils of love, and the stories women are forced to hide.
