I recently read the Tamar trilogy (Tamar, White Feathers & Blue Smoke) , set in NZ, 1800s through to end of World War Two. Fascinating look at NZ Social history. Very readable, very enjoyable! Addictive reading, once I started the first, I had to read all three books! Who cares about the housework - ha ha!
Highly recommended reading.
Another Deborah Challinor Book I read was Kitty, also very enjoyable.
Awesome NZ author!!
