Dunedin, New Zealand, 1890.
Suddenly orphaned at the tender age of twenty, Greer Gillies is reduced to working as a humble servant at Larnach Castle, a far cry from the dreams she held before. As she struggles with the stark reality of grief, she finds her journey has only just begun as the decade proves transformative for women's progress.
As she grapples with affairs of the heart, betrayal, the threat of lost love, and social upheavals, Greer's resilience shines through. She becomes a symbol of courage, daring to pursue her dreams, follow her heart, and find her place in a world that promises a better future.
Spanning the last decade of the 19th century, this saga explores the healing power of friendship while celebrating the pivotal role women played in one of New Zealand's most turbulent eras.

Miss Jenny buys some chocolate and plans to eat it all on her own. But before she can, first her dog, then her cat, and finally a magpie steal the big block of delicious chocolate.
First published in the 1980s, The Big Block Of Chocolate remains a firm favourite. This reformatted gift edition gives Christine Dale's original, much-loved illustrations a new look for a new generation.
