WINNER FOR THE ABIA AUDIOBOOK OF THE YEAR 2022
Growing up in the village of Kay in Prussia, 1836, Hanne Nussbaum would rather run wild in the forest than
conform to the limitations of womanhood. Hanne is friendless and misunderstood ... until she meets Thea.
When Hanne and her family are forced to flee religious persecution, they board a crowded, disease-riddled ship
bound for the colony of South Australia. In the face of brutal hardship, the beauty of whale song enters Hanne's heart, along with the miracle of her love for Thea. Theirs is a bond that nothing can break.
The whale passed. The music faded.

Critic reviews
"Devotion is utterly original. A glorious, heartbreaking love story of infinite beauty." (Heather Rose)
"Hannah Kent's latest novel is stunning—full of magic and adventure. I fell in love with language again reading it. So beautiful and so raw. Devotion is impossibly good." (Evie Wyld)
"Such a glorious love story. And the poetry of the landscape had, for me, a Whitmanesque sensibility. A mighty impassioned cry to love and the land." (Sarah Winman)
