Description
Powerful stories of women and the land
A young woman stabs her husband to death in a sudden
reaction to his violence. Another discovers her
grandmother’s diary in the ruins of the family home. An
old man with a fiddle cherishes the memory of a magical
night of music and love.
These stories about rural women in New Zealand
challenge the myths that glorify colonial life and mask
the reality of women’s lives. In this, her first book,
Catherine Delahunty writes about women’s struggles
with wit and passion, setting her stories against
powerfully evoked landscapes from New Zealand in
times past.
