A colonial family's new home holds an unsettling past

In 1866, Daniel Peterson brings his family from London to an unseen farm on Banks Peninsula, determined to make his fortune before returning home. The harsh realities of an isolated hill-country property soon challenge the comfortable expectations he has carried with him. Around the Petersons live whalers, escaped convicts, French settlers and squatters, each adding to the tensions of their unfamiliar community. Their house has its own history, connected to its former inhabitant Étienne La Rochelle and his Māori lover. When Daniel's daughter Hester finds La Rochelle's journal, she encounters a story that opens new possibilities and dangers. Tanya Moir sets family ambition and awakening desire against the demanding beauty of colonial New Zealand.
