STRANDS OF GOLD By Helen Spring Set at the turn of the century against a backcloth which ranges from the stifling conformity of colonial Singapore to the blistering heat of the Australian outback, 'Strands of Gold' charts the struggle of Lucy Rowlands to escape from the brutality of a loveless marriage and create a new identity. Returning to Singapore to discover poverty and decay in her much loved childhood home, Lucy's deep sense of duty allows her to be persuaded into a marriage which denies her true feelings. A lonely struggle against the cruelty and degradation of her position follows, but Lucy's decision to escape has a doubly tragic outcome, the accidental death of her father and the shooting of her husband. Lucy's struggle is mirrored by another, the efforts of Danny, a small disabled boy, to drag himself from poverty by sheer endurance and application. He plays his own small part in the events surrounding Lucy's escape, and these have a direct bearing on Danny's future. Wanted for the murder of her husband, Lucy's escape in the sailing ketch 'Selangor Lady' is only the beginning of a perilous journey through the Indonesian islands and the treacherous Timor Sea, in search of a new life in Australia. But her new identity, hard won in the harsh climate and remote surroundings, is threatened by discovery when once more she is confronted by a bully, and this time she will not acquiesce. Once more Lucy is escaping, this time on a journey which combines a quest, to trace the location of a vague map, the one clue to a gold strike made twenty five years before, somewhere in the barren wastes north of Kalgoorlie... But Lucy finds her true gold in friendship, in the unforgettable stoicism of Matthew, the uncle who gives up everything when she needs him, Jarvis, who gives his life, and Greg, who is transformed from frog prince to gold prospector, and tempts her with peaches... This is the story of a well bred young English girl flung by circumstance into the privations and hardship of life in Australia in the early 1900's. Her courage is tested to its limits, and with the help and loyalty the struggle to attain her full potential comes the realisation that this can only be achieved with of friends, the true 'Strands of Gold' of the title.

The Bluebeard fairy tale retold. . . . When seventeen-year-old Sophia Petheram’s beloved father dies, she receives an unexpected letter. An invitation—on fine ivory paper, in bold black handwriting—from the mysterious Monsieur Bernard de Cressac, her godfather. With no money and fewer options, Sophie accepts, leaving her humble childhood home for the astonishingly lavish Wyndriven Abbey, in the heart of Mississippi. Sophie has always longed for a comfortable life, and she finds herself both attracted to and shocked by the charm and easy manners of her overgenerous guardian. But as she begins to piece together the mystery of his past, it’s as if, thread by thread, a silken net is tightening around her. And as she gathers stories and catches whispers of his former wives—all with hair as red as her own—in the forgotten corners of the abbey, Sophie knows she’s trapped in the passion and danger of de Cressac’s intoxicating world. Glowing strands of romance, mystery, and suspense are woven into this breathtaking debut—a thrilling retelling of the “Bluebeard” fairy tale.

Set against a backcloth which ranges from the stifling conformity of colonial Singapore to the blistering heat of the Australian outback, Strands of Gold charts the struggle of Lucy Rowlands to escape from the brutality of a loveless marriage and create a new life.

Then comes discovery, and Lucys escape with the enigmatic Greg Lamont involves solving the clue to a gold strike made twenty five years before, somewhere in the barren wastes north of Kalgoorlie. Strands of Gold is what used to be called a rattling good yarn and holds you spellbound; but it is the characters, Matthew and Jarvis, Greg, and Lucy herself, who draw you into their absorbing world to linger in the mind long after the story is told.

Singapore 1822: a place tainted by exploitation and dishonesty. This is the world into which Chin Ming disappears, powerless to discover what happened to her missing father and unable to deliver his letter to Stamford Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore. This story begins beside the harbour in Guangzhou, where Chin Ming is plotting to board a junk. On the same ship is Wing Yee, a high-class courtesan, anticipating a brighter future. During the voyage they form a friendship, but when they reach Singapore, they become embroiled in the attitudes and values of the times. They are subjected to the very worst of human nature in a male-dominated world. The opportunities they dreamt of in Singapore are shattered when they are imprisoned, firstly by a Chinese merchant, and then by a devious European trader. In Elisabeth Conway's A Strand of Gold we experience a world where slavery is tolerated, gambling and prostitution are rife, and all of this is set against a background of Raffles' idealism and East India Company bureaucracy.
