The Place That Time Forgot tells the story of a community under threat. A proposal to create a manmade lake causes turmoil and dissention for people who have lived and farmed in a close-knit community in the district of Wild Duck for many generations. During this time of social upheaval, ambitious young Charlotte Duggan grows to womanhood. As the people of the district galvanise to hold their place and their heritage against the forces of authority and the water that threatens to engulf them, Charlotte finds her ambition to be a writer and her infatuation with the son of a wealthy neighbour are tested when a mysterious stranger arrives in her district. As landholders wait the explosion that will form the weir and signal the loss of their homes and their livelihoods, Charlotte and the newcomer, Luke are thrown together in a relationship that despite their strong attraction, holds a conflict of interest for both of them. Can their love survive amidst the turmoil that threatens their way of life and that of their community?
