The story of Walter Mantell's 1848 journey down the east coast of the South Island in New Zealand, to set aside reserves for Ngai Tahu within a large land-block purchased by the government, is countered with a modern woman's very different story of violence on a South Island farm. This evocative and finely observed novel reveals different ways of seeing the land as well as the deals made in politics and in love.Corballis, Tim is the author of 'Fossil Pits', published 2006 under ISBN 9780864735089 and ISBN 0864735081.
