Nor the Years Condemn

'They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.'. The line from the Anzac verse provides the title for this novel, in which Robin Hyde shows the predicament of returned servicemen and women after the First World War. Through the story of Douglas Stark, we see the many ways in which New Zealand was failing their expectations. It was not the 'land fit for heroes' they had fought for, but a changing society moving through the tough times of the twenties and thirties.Hyde, Robin is the author of 'Nor the Years Condemn' with ISBN 9780908569830 and ISBN 0908569831.
