Essie Summers Ordine dei libri (cronologico)
Essie Summers è stata un'autrice neozelandese i cui vividi ritratti della gente e del paesaggio del suo paese natale furono così acclamati che le fu offerto l'Ordine dell'Impero Britannico per i suoi contributi al turismo neozelandese. Il suo lavoro attinge a una ricca tradizione narrativa e a un fascino per le vite dei pionieri, ispirato dai racconti dell'infanzia e dall'influenza dei suoi genitori. Dopo le prime esperienze di lavoro nei negozi di abbigliamento, ha incanalato queste intuizioni nei romanzi romantici per i quali è diventata famosa. Come moglie di un ministro e madre di due figli, ha sempre trovato opportunità per scrivere racconti, poesie e rubriche di giornale.

Marty made a thoughtless little joke about going to New Zealand tolook for a susceptible bachelor with a seven-thousand-a-year wool clip, and unfortunately Philip Griffiths overheard and took her seriously. So when she found that she was to settle in his part of the country, she had to work very hard to show him that she wasnot specially interested in men and least of all in him.
Janet's relationship to the ten-year-old orphaned triplets was complicated - she was the daughter of her father's first wife, and they were the children of his second wife - but the tie of affection was very strong. When their grandfather in New Zealand decided to bring the children to live on his farm and sent his nephew Morgan Mackay to fetch them, Janet made up her mind to go too. However, through a series of misunderstandings, Janet convinced Morgan that she bore no relation to the youngsters, and he was less than pleased to discover her deception. He agreed not to send her away immediately if she would agree to a 'pretence' engagement to him to further some scheme of his own. What had Janet gotten herself into now?
