Gee, Maurice

New Zealand novel set in Nelson. Three siblings come together after thirty years' separation around the sickbed of their father. About characters who want or who lack love. Some violence may disturb. NZ Interest.

Comments from Groups

Most of the group finished the book and liked it. Good questions which were thought provoking. Maurice Gee has great insight into characters and New Zealand. It was interesting that some found the book to be quite positive and others not at all. Mangawhai 003

It was interesting to read about our own 'backyard' in Nelson - we could visualise it very well. Nelson 031

How lucky we are to have a NZ author with the skill and excellence of Maurice Gee. All members were enthusiastic about the story, setting, character development etc. Christchurch 136

We all found it gripping reading - though at times disturbing and rather grim. Discussion was rather animated. Some characters we felt were unconvincing or not well-rounded, but overall we were not disappointed. Wellington 062

A great read followed by a very lively discussion until late!! Aria 001

We found it hard to actually like anyone in this book, and found it sad to think that some people do actually have lives like May's (sad) and David's (scary fellow!)... Lower Hutt 004
