Description
Harriet Watson dreams of a life beyond the Canterbury plains
of 1890s New Zealand. When a celebrated English explorer sets his sights on her,
she is swept into a grand romance and a far greater deception.
Determined to make a name for himself, Curtis De Courcy
undertakes a perilous expedition across Africa, returning a hero to claim
Harriet as his bride. But as whispers of scandal and cruelty gather, Harriet finds
herself isolated, controlled and increasingly aware that true happiness may lie
far from the direction she was seeking.
From the Rakaia hills to the drawing rooms of London,
through the wilds of East Africa and the brutal heart of the Congo Free State, Where in All the World traces one
woman’s journey through betrayal, resilience and self-discovery. Faced with the
violence of empire and the constrictions of Victorian marriage, Harriet must
summon extraordinary courage to reclaim her life -and her freedom.
