Author(s): Laurence Fearnley

NZ Fiction

Laurence Fearnley?s new novel about two Southern Men looking for love, and what happens along the way, is getting rave reviews. Butler?s Ringlet presents a realistic and often touching portrait of a provincial male world seldom covered in recent New Zealand fiction. It is further evidence of Laurence Fearnley?s original and often quirky view of the world. The novel is illustrated with black and white photographs of the region taken by the author. ?A wonderful novel, the kind women so rarely write, about men - about two rural, repressed types.? - Dominion Post. ?An extraordinarily good story.... The characters are so deftly and insightfully drawn...? - NZ Herald.
