The Colour ~ Rose Tremain

Large soft cover
Good condition

This historical novel is set in 1860s New Zealand. It follows newlyweds Joseph and Harriet Blackstone, who emigrate from England with Josephs mother, Lilian, in search of prosperity. They settle near Christchurch, but the harsh land quickly tests their resilience.

Joseph stumbles upon gold in a nearby creek referred to as "the colour" by prospectors and becomes obsessed with wealth. He keeps his discovery a secret, abandons his farm and family, and sets off alone for the goldfields over the Southern Alps. Meanwhile, Harriet struggles with isolation and regret, eventually forging her own path and identity.

The novel explores themes of greed, ambition, love, and betrayal, painting a vivid picture of the West Coast Gold Rush and the emotional turmoil of its characters.
