One day in 1955 the 'father of New Zealand fiction' finds a young woman on his doorstep. A writer herself, she has recently emerged from a lengthy spell in hospital and is looking for somewhere safe to live and write. Somewhat to his own surprise, not to mention discomfort, he takes her in. What happens behind that high Takapuna hedge in the ensuing year is the story told in this delightful and moving novel.
"A magnificent reimagining of a signal moment in our cultural history, this is both a novel of surpassing tenderness and a primer on creative writing. . . . This is a rare and transforming reading experience." --Kate de Goldi, author, "The 10PM Question"
