New Zealand Writing…

LEATHER WINGS
Marilyn Duckworth $24.95
Wallace is a door-to-door salesman. When he
meets six-year-old Jania, his life gains a new
dimension. He is in love. This is ‘pure’ adoration.
Or is it? Esther, reluctant grandmother, is too
self-absorbed to notice the drama that is about
to break. Innocence carries its own dangers:
love grows where least expected. The little girl might have
some answers of her own, but who will listen?

COMING HOME IN THE DARK
Owen Marshall $24.95
Readers will find in these twenty-seven short
stories, the familiar wry, laconic, always
truthful examinations of relationship and
life in provincial and rural New Zealand. But
there is much more — anarchic humour,
surreal fantasy, sharp and well-aimed satire,
chilling insights into those who inhabit an
amoral world that is often uncomfortably close to the edges of
comfortable middle-class society.
