The Colour of Our Country: The Lucky Years (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798831693195)

As World War Two finally ends, Lieutenant Tama Ratahi of B Company of the 28th (Māori) Battalion finds himself in Italy. Impatiently waiting to be repatriated, he travels to Venice where he fleetingly meets the attractive and equally dangerous Susan Moretti. When, several years later, she tracks him down in New Zealand, his life and that of his family is irretrievably changed. Cousins Tom Murphy and Jack Fleming also return after serving on NZHMS Achilles and Gambia in the Pacific war. Tom goes back to the family farm at Mokau to make good past mistakes while Jack jumps ship to start a new life in America, but civilian life is not what anybody expects, even for those who stayed home as fate has other plans as the devious and determined Fay Carrington seeks to steal a life from the woman she calls a friend. These are the lucky years where those fortunate enough to survive, go on to make what they can of their lives. Some settle down to raise families, but others who survived on the adrenalin of war seek adventure where they can and at any cost.
