| Description |
Set near Woodend, a beach settlement north of Christchurch…a genuine local setting of an authenticity often lacking in New Zealand writing… Here at last we have engrossing and counterpointed characters that are at once large and credible…Dan has advanced Parkinson's disease… The plot develops as Dan staggers to an inevitable death into a tussle between the determination of Jack and Maxine to ease Dan's final months and the less personal, but quite justifiable pressure from Dan's ex-wife who wants to stash the old man away in a handy Auckland rest home. |
