Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Wednesday's Children returns to print in this beautifully designed edition, celebrating the enduring work of Robin Hyde. Set in 1930s New Zealand, the novel follows Wednesday Gilfillan, an independent woman who rejects societal expectations in favour of a life defined by artistic and emotional freedom. On an isolated island, she creates a home for her remarkable children and other characters drawn into her life by circumstance.

In vivid prose, Hyde critiques middle-class respectability and delves into the personal costs of living an unconventional life. With striking cover art by Star Gossage and a new preface and afterword by Genevieve Scanlan, this fresh edition revives a poignant narrative that remains deeply relevant to contemporary readers.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This beautifully presented new edition of Nor the Years Condemn brings Robin Hyde's important novel back into print. First published in 1938, Nor the Years Condemn explores the experiences of returned servicemen and women in the aftermath of World War I. Through the story of Douglas Stark, Hyde vividly portrays the disappointment and disillusionment of veterans who return to a New Zealand that falls short of the ideals they fought for. Far from the promised 'land fit for heroes', the nation grapples with the social upheaval and economic hardship of the 1920s and 1930s. Hyde's novel poignantly captures the emotional and societal challenges faced by those trying to rebuild their lives in a world that no longer seems to recognise their sacrifice.

This new edition of Nor the Years Condemn revives Robin Hydes powerful 1938 novel about WWI veterans facing disillusionment in postwar New Zealand.
