Identified by Nicky Pellegrino as 'one of this country's most
talented storytellers', it has been said that she creates 'an
authentic stage for a cast of characters who interact in ways that
always ring true' (The Christchurch Press). Reviewing Landings,
Graham Beattie concluded- 'It is not surprising that she is one of
NZ's most popular contemporary novelists and this fine piece of
historical fiction will further enhance that well-deserved
reputation.'
