A Harbour's Edge

A Harbour's Edge

In A Harbour’s Edge, Robert, a London solicitor, arrives in Sydney for a tax law conference, his marriage to Helen fraying under routine’s weight. On the flight, he meets Clara, an Australian lawyer, her warm accent and stories of her daughter Lily stirring a quiet longing. As they explore Sydney’s vibrant harbour, coves, and markets, their connection deepens, each moment, a ferry’s sway, a bar’s confession, tightening a web of desire and duty. Clara’s life, bound by her distant surgeon husband and Lily’s small world, mirrors Robert’s own constraints. Amid Sydney’s sunlit ease and drawling voices, they teeter on the edge of a forbidden choice, their parting at the quay leaving a thread of possibility, letters, a Melbourne meeting, unresolved. Back in London’s grey drizzle, a letter from Clara rekindles their bond, its promise lingering, unanswered, in the fog of Robert’s life.
