Description
It is 1884 and the child Ida travels with Mama and Maud to New Zealand. The exotic country disappoints the children, until Mr Maufe invites the family to stay with him at his country estate, The peach groves. In this, one of her most acclaimed books, Barbara Hanrahan pulls apart the genteel stuffing of colonial respectability, finding instead coarse layers of violence and passion.
