The Silent Sea
by Martin, Catherine, 1848-1937

this is a book by an australian author set in australia. we dont have a lot of those so this might be interesting to our local readers :) the only thing i could find about it is from goodreads:
The story centres around the Colmar Mine which is modelled on the largest gold mine existing in South Australia at the end of the nineteenth century. Victor Fitz-Gibbon, young and adventurous, leaves Adelaide for the desolate outback and finds himself caught up in a dramatic sequence of events. The Colmar Mine also affects the lives of two very different young women: Helen Paget, an heiress, and Doris Lindsay, a young girl whose life is changed forever with her mother’s death.

This intelligent and sophisticated novel encompasses compelling psychological obsession, passionate romance and ironic questioning set in vivid historical detail against Adelaide society and the outback in 1890. It is an important rediscovery.
