{"product_id":"rotoroa-amy-head-9781776561919","title":"Rotoroa","description":"Rotoroa Island in the Hauraki Gulf, tiny and isolated, is home to a Salvation Army facility for alcoholic men. It's also where three people at very different points in their lives share a fleeting encounter. There is Katherine, known to history as Elsie K. Morton, famous journalist and author; Jim, an alcoholic with a young family; and Lorna, a teenage mother who has turned to religion, looking for a fresh start. As the stories of their lives are revealed, so too are their hopes and vulnerabilities. Set in the 1950s, as New Zealand society is starting to change under the pressure of new cultural energies, Rotoroa is a compassionate, beautifully unfolding examination of loss and the possibility of renewal. Told with subtlety and intelligence, this novel affirms Amy Head as a remarkable new voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy Head\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1776561910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781776561919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Victoria University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Amy Head","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44149437497599,"sku":"9781776561919","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c13a8d4e-998b-45dd-abf5-e32fb79ab6db.jpg?v=1688456710","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rotoroa-amy-head-9781776561919","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
