This is one very big book! Really enjoyable saga of life across just a couple of years in South Island, New Zealand, during the gold rush. With a sizeable cast of characters, lots of twists and turns and a clever way of incorporating flashbacks and background information. I really enjoyed this book, although it did take me the best part of six weeks to read, and I suspect that a second reading might be needed to make more sense of exactly what might have happened at the end!
