Author(s): Barbara Anderson

NZ Fiction

New edition, first published in 1992. Both Barbara Anderson and her character, the free-spirited Sarah randy, take artistic licence in this engaging saga of ageless appeal and enjoyment. Sarah is a New Zealand painter who grows up in the Hawkes Bay, marries Jack, a novelist, travels to Europe, has affairs and children, and returns to an unsettled life in her homeland. The author's acute observations, detailed character descriptions, ready wit and wonderful humour never fail to delight.
