For Kate O’Connor,
desperate to escape her tragic past in England, the opportunity to
immigrate to New Zealand with Sir John Devenish and his wife and
daughter is a chance to start over.
Exhilarated by this wild,
primitive place on the other side of the world, Kate’s happiness is
marred by a love she knows is taboo. When a sudden and suspicious death
throws her life into turmoil, she begins to uncover the real reason the
Devenish family left England.
From a grand townhouse in London to a sheep farm in New Zealand, An Important Family, which was hailed by the Cleveland Plain Dealer
as “a compulsive page turner,” is the story of a country in the midst
of colonisation—a transformation that parallels Kate O’Connor’s own rite
of passage into womanhood as she finds her future in a magnificent new
land.
