Owen Marshall is a renowned short story writer and novelist, who worked for more than 25 years as a teacher before retiring to work full time as a writer. Many critics rank Marshall among the finest, if not the finest, of New Zealand’s short story writers.
In these sixty stories taken from the past thirty years, Marshall displays his mastery of the short story form, his love for the South Island landscape and his unsentimental yet humane delineation of recognisable characters and situations.
