Finding — David Hill

Scotland, September 1886. A family boards a ship bound for New Zealand. What will their new lives hold? Will they find the opportunities and riches denied them in their homeland? And will they ever call this strange, faraway country home?

Leap forward a decade and the family have settled near the banks of a river, befriended by the people of the neighbouring pa. But their new existence has been paid for with some terrible losses.

Through the decades and right up to the present day, more tests lie ahead - war, earthquakes, protest marches, brushes with death. And so do some thrilling discoveries.

Life in this quiet river valley is never boring.

Master storyteller David Hill traces the fortunes of two New Zealand families, through seven generations and over 130 years of fast-flowing change, in this exciting and richly rewarding novel.
