Yes, back in kindle form with a new enhanced cover for just £1.99, less than the price of a cup of tea or coffee. This new improved version of my book about New Zealand, is based on the story of my Great Uncle who travelled to New Zealand in 1850. I have told the story from the viewpoint of Scottish nursemaid, Eliza, employed to look after the Reverend Reid and his wife’s children. With the sea crossing in a sail boat being difficult and precarious and taking up to 6 months to complete, Eliza has to say ‘goodbye’ to her family for ever in order to make the trip from the Scottish port of Greenock.
Experiencing a difficult sea crossing that takes four and a half months Eliza encounters stormy seas and scant supplies before she eventually arrives in the new strange land, miles from home.
Waireka takes you on a journey through marriage, childbirth and forbidden love set against the hard pioneering background, as Eliza and her husband Alister, struggle to set up and run a successful dairy farm.
Eliza has been called ‘plucky’ by romance writer, Fiona Harper, and ‘gutsy’ by author, Clare Blake, but you need to read the book to make up your own mind.
