This is the story of poorly-endowed Taranaki dairy farm in the 1920s. The author assumes that the lives he describes are interesting for their own sake, without the need to import any artificial devices of plot, or to move outside the natural idiom of his characters.

The setting of this novel is Auckland and the dairying country of the Waikato. The landscape, the climate, the farming routine, are strongly evoked, but it is the subtlety and power with which the growing and dying of a marriage are related which makes the novel memorable.

First published in 1905, and set in the Hokianga district, this portrait of pioneer farming and trading on the margin between sea and bush is also a traditional tale of heroes and heroines, of villainous jealousies and intrigues, and - above all - of the brooding forest.
