Produktbeschreibung

Angus is supposed to be retired and take things easy but he can't stand what his daughters are doing to the farm. It's against his principles. His wife, Nessa, tells him "Time's moved on, so should your principles. You need to accept that and change with them. Give a little, Angus, you daftie."
But he couldn't. He'd been a beef and sheep farmer. What was he now with his piddling twelve acres? But think to override his decisions did they, those daughters of his? Relegate him to a cypher would they? He'd show them. And he does.

Autorenporträt

p.d.r. lindsay (no capitals please in tribute to a favourite poet, e. e. cummings) makes New Zealand home. Born in Ireland, brought up in Yorkshire, educated in England, Canada and New Zealand, writer p.d.r. lindsay is also Mrs Salmon, Ms Lindsay-Salmon and even for eight years in Japan, Professor Lindsay-Salmon. This wide experience of different cultures colours her writing and keeps her travelling.
Social issues are her main concern which is why she writes historical stories about ordinary people, the ones whose names and lives we don't know much about. Reading the diaries and letters of parsons and farmers, wives and daughters, merchants and tradesmen showed her how the basic human dilemmas do not change over the centuries. She finds that certain human trait both good and bad, can be better shown through historical stories than through contemporary ones and hopes that readers will think about those failings as they apply to today.
