Description

Lark Watter had always planned to run away from her stifling suburban life in 1960s Sydney. At university, she encounters an American, Tom, and with him the promise of escape. Following Tom to the other side of the world by freighter is a journey to freedom — but the adventure Lark has embarked on isn't quite what she had anticipated. Not on the way there, and certainly not in New York.

A picaresque journey across the high seas and through the extremes of the '60s, Dancing on Coral was Glenda Adams' second novel and established her international reputation.
