Synopsis
"A beautiful writer." The Times
When war widow Irene Sandle goes to work in New Zealand’s tobacco fields in 1952, she hopes to start a new, independent life for herself and her daughter – but the tragic repercussions of her decision will resonate long after Irene has gone.
Each of Irene’s children carries the events of their childhood throughout their lives, played out against a backdrop of great change – new opportunities emerge for women, but social problems continue to hold many back. Headstrong Belinda becomes a successful filmmaker, but struggles to deal with her own family drama as her younger siblings are haunted by the past.
A sweeping saga covering half a century, this is a powerful exploration of family ties and heartbreaks, and of learning to live with the past.

From the Author
I am an only child and I have always been a watcher of families and the different courses brothers and sisters take. But the book is also a hymn and a love letter to small town and rural New Zealand, like the places where I grew up. The book is a kind of summary of the country where I have spent my life.
