Kindred

Tela Gilbard and Jaimie Ashcott are distant kin whose links stretch across the years and the Pacific. It is Jaimie's long dead Great-Grandmother who brings them together. This is a story of two New Zealanders, their daughter and granddaughter, kindred by descent and by a mutual belonging to place. There is joy and sadness, failure and success, despair and hope."It is a beautifully moving novel." Peter Beatson.
