carolyn: The three books in this series depict NZ life in the early days and although if is fiction, you can imagine life being very similar to this story, in the way that the story is told. It’s great to learn about early NZ through fiction based on a lot of research.

Alison Bieber: I love this author's trilogies set in colonial New Zealand. She has a few of them and I have read them all. I'm a fan of historical fiction, and these books are great.

Jeanine Roland: What a tragedy for Gloria being born into her family. When parents don't listen to the desires of their children, disaster happens. Gloria was determined to return to the land of her heritage and almost destroyed her life trying.
It was a wonderful end to a tragic beginning.

Elizabeth De Wit: I loved this story it was hard to put down and it shows that women are stronger than most think.
And what some women HAVE to do to get through life my heart 💜 goes out to both of these two girls and the choices they made it shows how strong they were. All women in this story are very proud women. And two Morri women and Paka women

alison christine: Third volume lives up to its predecessors holding readers in the thrall of events belonging to 'the families' whose lives intertwine.

Chasqui Penguin: The daughters of Elaine and Kura travel to a boarding school in England where one settles down quickly and happily, while the other spends years of misery before making her own way back home to New Zealand, with great difficulty. Covering the years prior to, during and after the first World War, there is also much focus on Jack, son of Gwyn and James McKenzie who suffers a devastating loss, which leaves him inconsolable, but he goes on to live through action in Gallipoli. As the book concludes the whole family is reunited at Kiward Station but it does leaves the reader wondering about future generations and how they fared.
This series comprises three riveting stories starting in 1952 and finishing in 1919 and in some ways had me favourably comparing it with the Jalna/Whiteoaks series written by Mazo de la Roche. DW Lovett’s translation from the original German flowed well and captured the essence of the story throughout the three books and I shall definitely be buying and reading more of Sarah Lark’s novels on my Kindle.

Tracy Richings: As a trilogy, these books got better as they revealed each next generation of women and the new hardships they faced.
There were very few of the main characters that didn’t draw you in, though Kura took a while to show her human side, she seemed to return to her egotistical diva ways by book 3. However, without her lack of care, it would never have forced Gloria into the measures she took.

Elizabeth Phillips: Sarah Lark is a brilliant writer and I hugely enjoy her novels. But Jack is Gloria's half-uncle, making their sexual relationship incestuous and their marriage illegal. There are a few countries in the world which allow avuncular marriages, but they are not allowed in New Zealand. Four stars even so for fab writing and characterisation.
