Republished here for a new audience, readers will delight in Mander's liberal views-written in a time when New Zealand was at its most conservative-her social liberalism and her obvious love of Northland. The book views New Zealand settler society through the eyes of Alice, raised as a Puritan in Victorian England, who must face a radically different society in a Northland kauri-milling town. The clash between these views, and between generations, drives a very human story. Mander herself grew up in a similar environment. Her childhood experiences add a great deal to the realism and detail of the book. This new edition also contains a forward describing the author's life and writing by D. B. Hann, New Zealand writer and lecturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 380\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.78 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 28, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44346942521395,"sku":"9780473586560","price":94.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/2191\/6467\/files\/RwuCTfFWwG9780473586560.webp?v=1779810942","url":"https:\/\/thereadinghousebookcompany.com\/products\/the-story-of-a-new-zealand-river-paperback","provider":"The Reading House Book Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
