Essie Summers Bücher
Essie Summers war eine neuseeländische Autorin, deren lebendige Darstellungen der Menschen und Landschaften ihres Heimatlandes so gefeiert wurden, dass ihr für ihre Beiträge zum neuseeländischen Tourismus der Order of the British Empire angeboten wurde. Ihr Werk schöpft aus einer reichen Erzähltradition und einer Faszination für das Leben von Pionieren, inspiriert von Kindheitsgeschichten und dem Einfluss ihrer Eltern. Nach frühen Erfahrungen in Kurzwarenläden floss dieser Einblick in die romantischen Romane ein, für die sie berühmt wurde. Als Pfarrersfrau und Mutter zweier Kinder fand sie stets Gelegenheit, Kurzgeschichten, Gedichte und Zeitungsbeiträge zu verfassen.

Marty made a thoughtless little joke about going to New Zealand tolook for a susceptible bachelor with a seven-thousand-a-year wool clip, and unfortunately Philip Griffiths overheard and took her seriously. So when she found that she was to settle in his part of the country, she had to work very hard to show him that she wasnot specially interested in men and least of all in him.
Janet's relationship to the ten-year-old orphaned triplets was complicated - she was the daughter of her father's first wife, and they were the children of his second wife - but the tie of affection was very strong. When their grandfather in New Zealand decided to bring the children to live on his farm and sent his nephew Morgan Mackay to fetch them, Janet made up her mind to go too. However, through a series of misunderstandings, Janet convinced Morgan that she bore no relation to the youngsters, and he was less than pleased to discover her deception. He agreed not to send her away immediately if she would agree to a 'pretence' engagement to him to further some scheme of his own. What had Janet gotten herself into now?
