Mitsy Sennosuke is the daughter of a Japanese diver. Jamie and his family have just moved to town.

Soon, two of them will fall in love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut these happy, untroubled times end when lives are lost in a terrible cyclone, and townsfolk turn against the Sennosukes. When Japanese bombs begin to fall in northern Australia, loyalties are divided and friendships take on an altogether different form...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this beautifully written novel, Garry Disher evokes a war-devastated Australia and its effects on young adults forced to leave their childhood behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780734419316\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garry Disher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53185290371379,"sku":"9780734419316","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/9780734419316.jpg?v=1774857969","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/the-divine-wind","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
