One summer changed Stella Boyd forever. It was 1975. And his name was Zeph.

Fifteen years later, Stella's life is full of excitement and danger as she travels the world writing magazine articles about women. But then one day she receives an urgent message that changes everything. Her father is missing at sea.

Stella heads home to Halfmoon Bay, the Tasmanian fishing village where she grew up. She desperately doesn't want to face the painful memories that await her. But as she takes part in the search for her father, the life of her old home draws in around her. She finds herself taken back to that extraordinary summer when she met a young man who was sailing the world alone. A time of devastating tragedy, but also of first love . . .

Like the sea itself, the past rises up, refusing to be ignored. There are dark secrets to be unearthed, lost dreams recovered. Only then can hearts be healed, and an unexpected reward be claimed.

'A truly absorbing book filled with secrets and conflicts.' Woman's Day

Tasmanian love story

Reviewed in Australia on 20 June 2015

Format: Kindle Edition

I really enjoyed this book set in Tasmania. It took me a little while to get into it, but I then found it hard to put down. Some very strange family dynamics at play in this - which are never fully explained. Teenage love and adult heart break.
definitely worth reading.

I started reading Katherine Scholes on the recommendation of a friend and I am so glad I did. The Stone Angel is the third book I have read by this author, and I loved it with a passion--so much so that I stayed up way past my bedtime to read that elusive 'just one more chapter'.
Ms Scholes paints vivid pictures in all of her scenes. The narrative ebbs and flows in such a natural way that it carries you along with it. It makes you think, ponder, and imagine. Sometimes, it makes you cry, and sometimes it makes you regret those times in your life when a choice beyond your control changed your life as you imagined it may otherwise be.
The characters are richly written and believable. Grace, who would bake and cook out of her hand-written recipe book when life became too hard, Stella with her contained persona and love of solitude, and William, who did what he thought was right at the time. And what can I say about Zeph? Loved him. I lived on a yacht for a while in my early twenties, and as I floated through the pages of this wonderful book, I could taste the sea, hear the rigging ding against the mast, and touch the rich teak of the deck.
If you want a novel to take you away to a place you may not normally go, in this instance Tasmania, The Stone Angel won't disappoint. I have read many books so far this year and it is one of the best. I can't wait for the movie - if there ever is one.
