Set in Queensland Australia between the years 1895 to 1910, about the time of the Federation, Isabel is a compelling tale of forbidden love, jealousy and bonds that shaped a woman's life, much through emotion and the triumph of the human spirit. Isabel defies the traditions of the times to maintain her beliefs and ideals against all odds. Even after her lover's death, she is still not sure whether a life is possible with any other man, when the past returns with haunting thoughts. She believes her dead lover's very absence holding her captive, with no room to move. The story is a layered journey which conflicts with the past and the necessity for change, and explores the passionate relationship between Isabel, a white sugar planter's daughter and Samolie, a Kanaka labourer. But can happiness continue? At heart a deeply moving story. She waited there until morning approached. Her gaze took her to a restful sea blazed by the rising sun. A swift thought brought her hope. A hope that he would return soon.
