Paperback
Author:
Diana Gabaldon
Featuring an exlusive interview where Diana Gabaldon reveals all about Jamie and Claire!
Their love has survived the test of time. But can it survive fate?
America, 1772. It is only a few years before the war of independence and the colony seethes with unrest. As battle lines are drawn up and loyalties tested, no one is safe in this new country.
Jamie Fraser receives a message from Governor Josiah Martin. He wants Jamie's help to keep the backcountry safe for King and Crown. But Jamie knows what's to come. His wife, Claire, has travelled back from the twentieth century and she knows what will happen to those loyal to the King of England. Exile or death. Neither prospect appeals to Jamie.
But Claire knows something else. From her own time she's read an article, dated 1776, reporting the destruction by fire of their home on Fraser's Ridge and the death of those who live there. Jamie hopes Claire is wrong, for once, ...

Paperback
Author:
T. K. Roxborogh
How do you choose between love and honour? Fleance, the 21-year old son of Scottish thane Banquo has been living rough in the woods of northern England since he escaped on that fateful night ten years ago when his father was brutally murdered. He has never told anyone who he is because he has yet to discover who wanted him dead, but he has learnt things - how to survive, how to use a cross bow, how not to trust anyone, but also how to love. But before he can truly give himself to the beautiful Rosie, Fleance must avenge the murder of his father and claim what is rightfully his. Through good luck or chance Fleance journeys to Scotland and meets the charismatic Duncan, 22-years-old and next in line to the throne. The two men are opposites - Fleance dark and mysterious, Duncan fair and open. We also meet Duncan's sister Rachel, beautiful and royal and at the same time, and a gentle foil to Rosie's passionate nature.

NZ$ 35.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Michael King
A reprint of Michael King’s seminal book on what it means to be a non-Maori New Zealander.
First published in 1985,
Being Pakeha Now
became a kiwi classic, a strong reply both to Maori who were asserting their own identity and also to Pakeha who were mumbling that they didn’t have a strong culture or identity of their own.
Being Pakeha Now
was updated in 1999 and is being reprinted again with a foreword by Kerry Howe, Professor of History at Massey University and author of
The Quest for Origins
.
Because of Michael’s untimely death, this book is the closest we’ll have to memoir by this major New Zealand historian and biographer.
In
Being Pakeha Now
Michael King carries the cultural debate forward. While recognising and respecting the place of Maori in New Zealand, he argues that Pakeha too belong inescapably to this country and have no other home. Part memoir, part apologia and ...

Blindsight
order quantity
NZ$ 35.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Maurice Gee
Blindsight is the story of a good though damaged man and his less than virtuous sister. As their childhood closeness unravels, Alice moves into her career in science (she's a mycologist), while Gordon descents into vagrancy and silence. For more than thirty years they do not meet. Then a young man appears at Alice's door, claiming a relationship she never knew she had. As he becomes part of her carefully guarded world, she cautiously begins to reveal the past. But is she telling him everything?
Jealousy, ambition and love shape the fates of Alice and Gordon in this compelling story of loyalty and family ties. Blindsight is another fine novel by the writer many acknowledge as New Zealand's best.

Davey Darling
order quantity
NZ$ 28.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Paul Shannon
Davey lives with Tiny, his hard case, beer-drinking father, and Thelma, his long-suffering, tea-drinking mother. Davey is a bit of a hard case himself, constantly getting in trouble with the local bully and giving everyone plenty of lip. The act of violence that follows his discovery in the woolshed sends Davey down a troubling path of choices. He knows he should choose the moral option, but then will his family survive?
In this classic coming-of-age novel, Paul Shannon vividly evokes life in the working-class suburbs of the South Island in the 1970s. Davey’s tough and often humorous voice of rapidly diminishing innocence recounts a tale of strife and independence, full of the ambiguities of becoming an adult.

Drybread
order quantity
NZ$ 27.99 each
Paperback
Author:
Owen Marshall
A graveyard is all that's left of the remote Central Otago settlement of Drybread, which miners, often hungry and disappointed, once searched for gold. It is to an old cottage nearby that Penny Maine-King flees with her young son, defying a Californian court order awarding custody of the child to her estranged husband. And seeking her in this austere, burnt country is journalist Theo Esler. He is after a story, but he discovers something far more personal and significant. Drybread, Owen Marshall's third novel, is a moving study of love and disappointment, of the harm we do to each other, knowingly and unknowingly, of the power and significance of landscape in our lives. Rich and subtle, it is a compelling book from one of this country's finest writers.

Flight of the Kereru

NZ$ 29.99 each
Paperback
Author:
Graham Davies
Janus Carpenter finds an object, which he calls "The Orb", near a forest track that unlocks the corridors to wisdom and eternity. A spiritual entity from the Orb attaches itself to him, and teaches him many secrets. The entity has knowledge of all things except the emotional understanding of humanity.
Together they explore the depths of human passion, fear and unworthiness. They enter the dimensions of life after death, healing and religious teachings. As Janus's extraordinary gifts become known in his wider community, he is highly sought after. For different reasons he also attracts attention from a prominent computer centre, from where a highly classified article has been stolen by one of its scientists, and from the highest levels of Catholic Church on account of his apparently miraculous powers of healing.
