DIVING INTO THE RIVER.


Nina Treguer -

 

Surround yourself with beautiful Kiwi landscapes as you embark on a tumultuous journey with Jane Mander’s book  “The Story of a New Zealand River”. Set in the 1920s, the story follows Alice Roland as she travels along a river on a small boat to meet her husband. Mander slowly unfurls Alice's adventures, her tryst at understanding the complexities of Kiwi society, and her place in the world as she employs vivid imagery and characterization to paint a picturesque scene of Kiwi society and its most poignant problems, such  as women’s rights. This is why I strongly recommend this book or the movie adaptation, “The Piano”.
