Orchids and Camellias, RRP $36.99
Nelson, New Zealand, 1869.
Ginny Yang is on the run from her murderous, Chinese hating Father.
Newly widowed, Ginny has to fight to have any sort of future for herself and her unborn child.
New Zealand is changing, there is talk of banning the demon drink and giving women the vote.
But what never seems to change, is the discrimination towards the Chinese, and anyone associated with them.
In search of safety, Ginny moves around the country; Christchurch, Nelson, Dunedin. But the shadows of her past follow them wherever they go; a haunted hotel, a woman’s welfare home, the muddy streets of Dunedin, a robbery, an art gallery and an old friend in a gold rush town.
Ginny can never be sure who is watching …
The Things We Never Say, RRP $38
Artie Dam is a man with a secret.
He goes about his days teaching American history to high schoolers, correcting their casual ignorance, and lending a kind word to those who need it most.
He spends his free time sailing the beautiful Massachusetts Bay, or with his adult son and his wife of more than three decades – and as Artie does these things, he plans the event that will forever change the world he inhabits.
But when a startling accident awakens a new perspective in Artie, and he realises that life has its own secret it’s been keeping from him.
He charts another course full of grief, hilarity, and heart, to a place where the end marks the beginning.
