"Imogen Maguire is bewildered when in 2018 she is accosted in a Melbourne Street by a mysterious stranger who says her grandfather in New Zealand needs her help. But her grandfather is dead, isn't he? A former journalist, Imogen decides to investigate and travels to Taranaki where she finds that her grandfather is very much alive and someone is trying to frighten the old man off his farm. A long shadow hangs over her grandfather's land stretching from 1864, when two young Irishmen join the British army in its fight against the Taranaki Maori, to 1975, when Imogen's grandparents arrive fleeing trouble in Ireland. Their daughter Aoife, Imogen's mother, hates the new country her parents have brought her to, yet she knows it is impossible to return to Ireland. The Irishman she encounters sheltering in a hedge is as lost as she is."--Publisher's description.
