What more typical of the New Zealand bush scene than this original watercolor by Adele Earnshaw?
And what better describes the early New Zealand way of life than the novels written by Lester Earnshaw... OLIVIA. Beginning in the tiny town of Otane on the East Coast of New Zealand's North Island, Cameron Mountjoy's life has taken many turns. From the childhood delights and tribulations of a barefoot depression era, to life as a radar mechanic in World War II; from a housing contractor in post-war, free-enterprise Auckland, to the founding of an electronic empire in America, Cameron's life unfolds... THE RADIO MAN. Returning from the war, ex-RNZAF serviceman Larry La Salle tries to exercise his wartime skills in radio and radar. His struggles, and friends who make enemies superfluous, build right to the end in this down-to-earth evocation of adjustment to a post-war New Zealand. A rip-roaring tale. IN THE BONDS OF LOVE. Brian and Ailsa's married life has not been easy in Small-Town New Zealand and Brian's entrepreneurial ambitions have driven Ailsa to take their two daughters back to her home in the Orkney Islands. The bonds of love, however, draw Ailsa back. Life is hard on the Warkworth property Brian has bought, but Brian and Ailsa are united in their determination to make a success of their venture into chicken farming. In The Bonds of Love explores the reality of two strong-minded people learning to preserve their mutual love and respect. |
