This classic story of the Denniston Rose by Jenny Pattrick has become a cultural icon of sorts for the West Coast.
A number one bestseller, this favourite New Zealand novel captures a real 19th century community.
Into the bleak coal-mining settlement isolated high on a plateau above the West Coast come five-year-old Rose and her mother. No one knows what has driven them there, but most agree the mother must be desperate to choose Denniston; worse, to choose that drunkard Jimmy Cork as bedfellow. This number one bestseller is a compelling novel about isolation and survival.
