Our first book is Mine Alone, whose central theme is the unrelenting struggle of an emigrant mining engineer from Staffordshire
for recognition in colonial New Zealand.
In telling this story many other themes are also explored, including emigration to New Zealand from late nineteenth-century England, the early days of north-west Nelson, coal mining, church affairs, and local identities. The result is a fascinating insight into the everyday life of small communities of that time and the trials, tribulations and social relationships that might be found. Mine Alone is available now. |
