{"product_id":"the-settling-earth-rebecca-burns-9781922200167","title":"The Settling Earth","description":"Marriage transplants Sarah thousands of miles from home; a failed love affair forces Phoebe to make drastic choices in a new environment; a sudden, shocking discovery brings Mrs Ellis to reconsider her life as an emigrant-The Settling Earth is a collection of ten, interlinked stories, focusing on the British settler experience in colonial New Zealand, and the settlers' attempts to make sense of life in a strange new land. Sacrifices, conflict, a growing love for the landscape, a recognition of the succour offered by New Zealand to Maori and settler communities-these are themes explored in the book. The final story in the collection, written by Shelly Davies of the Ngātiwai tribe, adds a Maori perspective to the experience of British settlement in their land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Burns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1922200166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781922200167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Odyssey Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.30d","brand":"Rebecca Burns","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44616718352639,"sku":"9781922200167","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89ba299b-5b3a-4580-98b4-062e684d8d91.jpg?v=1703021914","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-settling-earth-rebecca-burns-9781922200167","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
