Boo-Eye is a New Zealand colloquialism meaning ten miles from nowhere, up the creek without a paddle, all wrong, over the hill and far away, up the gully. Boo-Eye is also the name of the river that runs through Faith, a small valley township north of the towns Hope and Charity. Set in the 1950s, in a community still coming to terms with its colonial past and bearing the scars of the recent Second World War, Boo-Eye takes the reader seamlessly from the present to the past, slowly revealing events that have shaped the characters and their lives. The story centres around three young men from Faith who set off up the Boo-Eye River on a quest to discover the origins of an old and mysterious photograph. Family, friends and acquaintances feature, as legends, memories and history influence the outcome of the young men's odyssey.
