Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Fleur Adcock's grandparents, immigrants from Manchester during World War I, acquired land in New Zealand through a ballot system, aiming to transform it into a dairy farm. When their plans falter, the burden of managing the farm shifts to Adcock's father as a teenager. This collection of poems captures their struggles and resilience, while painting a vivid picture of a small, isolated community. Blending personal history with lyrical storytelling, it serves as both a poignant family memoir and a remarkable exploration of historical themes.
