A Treacherous Paradise jellemzők

Brutal poverty and punishing cold define Hanna Renström's childhood in remote northern Sweden, and in 1904, at nineteen, she sets sail for Australia in search of a better life. Jumping ship at the African port of Lourenco Marques, none of Hanna's hopes - or fears - prepare her for what lies ahead.
Stumbling across what she believes to be a down-at-heel hotel, Hanna becomes embroiled in a sequence of events that leads to her inheriting the most successful brothel in town. Uncomfortable with the attitudes of the white colonists, Hanna is determined to befriend the prostitutes working for her, and change life in the town for the better.
