Drover’s Road<\/a>
\nCape Lost<\/a>
\nThe Golden Country<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Through vivid characterizations of people and place, Joyce West\u2019s storytelling draws her reader into the richly-textured, rural setting of New Zealand in the mid-20th century. In this first book, young Gabrielle Allan (called Gay) is living contentedly on Drovers Road, her Uncle Dunsany\u2019s sheep station in the hill country a hundred miles from Gisborne. Besides her young bachelor uncle there are her three orphaned cousins\u2014Eve, Hugh and Merry\u2014and their Great-Aunt Belle. Taken in by Dunsany years before, after her parents\u2019 divorce, Gay now scarcely remembers any other life.<\/p>\n

There are lessons at the local school, taught by pretty, sensible Susan Leigh, regular chores, plenty of horse riding and jumping, and pranks with Merry. Amid unforgettable characters, careless actions and scary consequences, young Gabrielle learns and grows, ever thankful for the shared ups and downs of the unconventional, caring family she has been given.<\/p>\n
