Nell

Nell is born into a new century, her early life forged in the expanses of the New Zealand high country. She yearns to go beyond the confines of family expectation and vows to keep alive the game of her inner freedom. Two wars, a pandemic and the Depression keep Nell tethered by duty.

Yet she dares to step beyond the bounds; she revels and stumbles in love; encounters the perils of a woman’s life and of motherhood; she embraces the consolation of friendship and seeks a worldview that can hold it all.

In this vivid and lyrically narrated chronicle of a life, readers will resonate with the quintessentially New Zealand character of Nell – her failings, her integrity, her compassion and strength.

The book was launched in May 2024 and had received great reviews.
