About Nell

Nell is born to a new century, her early life forged in the freedom of the New Zealand high country. And yet, her own freedom is tested: by family expectations, by husband Herb’s pride, by the rigours of family life on a Maniototo sheep station.

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

A powerfully moving story, narrated in gem-like episodes. Readers will resonate with Nell’s quintessentially New Zealand character— her failings, her integrity, her compassion and strength.

‘An astonishingly vivid yet gently evoked chronicle of an individual’s life.’ – Emma Neale
