Anne Flosnik
Hardworking London governess Helen Davenport longs for a family of her own but knows the prospect of finding a suitable husband grows dimmer each year. Then she spots an advertisement seeking wives for the churchgoing bachelors of colonial New Zealand and begins an affectionate correspondence with a gentleman farmer.
Meanwhile, not far away in Wales, society life bores Gwyneira Silkham, beautiful, daring daughter of a wealthy sheep breeder. She finds an unexpected escape when her father loses a blackjack hand to a mysterious New Zealand baron — and Gwyn’s hand in marriage goes to the baron’s son.The women cross paths on the ship to Christchurch — Helen traveling steerage, Gwyn first class — and form an unlikely friendship, one they’ll rely on when the husbands awaiting them turn out very different than they’d imagined.
This nineteenth-century saga of two unforgettable young women — navigating a new world and finding friendship, romance, and adventure at every turn — is as lush and sweeping as the hills of New Zealand themselves.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
I didn't like the narrator as her voice seemed rather sibilant and slurry. An English narrator would have been better. Her voice somewhat spoilt the story.Any additional comments?
I really enjoyed this story especially as it was about my homeland. It was historically correct and that was an added bonus. The story was exciting and I'd gladly read another book if it was serialised.Great New Zealand Story! With lots of daring do!

Anne Flosnik does a wonderful job narrating this series of books. Her voice is melodious and easy to listen to, and her many portrayals of the various characters are believable and full of passion.I purchased this book (and this series) because I've been to New Zealand and hoped that there would be much description of the land.
I had also hoped for more Maori characters, especially main characters. Unfortunately most of the Maori in this story were relegated to servants, employees or foes.
Still, the story was enjoyable and a nice listen. Recommended.
Enjoyable
