Dancing In The Wilderness

Felicity Price

4.9/5 (23804 ratings)

Description:Based on real New Zealand events, Dancing in the Wilderness fictionalises two significant periods of awakening in New Zealand’s history - the birth of the Labour movement at the turn of the century, and the birth of environmental activism ninety years later. Sophisticated PR pro Stephanie Hunter returns after 25 years to her birthplace on the uncompromising, untamed raw edge of New Zealand - the South Island's wild West Coast. Motivated by money and ambition, she has left behind her London lifestyle, headhunted by a logging multi-national to take on the environmental activists fighting to protect precious lowland native forests.Nearly a century earlier, young, impressionable immigrant Henrietta (Etta) Jackson was a naïve newlywed in 1908 when she arrived in New Zealand. Dumped at the foot of the towering Denniston Incline, Etta has no option but to walk up the steep hill to an isolated, barren and windswept landscape. With her handsome, union-activist, miner husband Ted, she is to start a new life in the stark settlement of Burnett's Face, where the sun rarely shines and the coal bins judder along the main street right past the back door. Dancing in the Wilderness is the passionate and compelling saga of two women - an immigrant miner's wife and her granddaughter - separated by three generations but linked by an emerging pioneering spirit as they come to terms with the raw honesty of the West Coast and travel on their own journeys towards finding themselves. Will they be able to find real happiness - even at the ends of the earth?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
