About this listen

New Zealand, 1893: William Martyn is better educated and more cultivated than the other men breaking their backs searching for gold near Queenstown. William is the son of landed Irish nobility, and he comes to town ready to invest in the best equipment. On his search for supplies, he encounters spirited and beautiful young Elaine O’Keefe, who promptly falls in love with him.

He is captivated by her charms until Kura, Elaine's half-Maori cousin, comes to visit. William succumbs at once to Kura's exotic beauty and free-spiritedness, and tension develops not only between the two cousins but also between the colonial settlers and their Maori neighbors.

I found some of the performed accents rather poor! Sometimes difficult to tell where the character was meant to be from.

The characterisations were excellent.

Even though for most it might get boring to read/listen to the similar stories, the way the plot unravels and the evolution of characters makes it a captivating story.
