Description

Wairaka Point is a gripping narrative based on actual events. The subjects and settings are diverse: New Zealand, legal investigation, rabies, fathers, US Marines, heroic women, Maori, ambiguity, possum trapping, advertising, Zimbabwe, families, World War II, adolescence, Melbourne, military coups, rugby, Afrikaans history, literature, Ghana, infidelity, rescue missions, British colonialism, rural life, trading commodities, letters, the Acadians, Wellington, racism, forgotten islands, travel, war, memories, secrets, death, love.


However, these are just the subjects and settings. The plot and theme are a profound discovery of the nature of truth and destiny. Stella Rees is beautiful, smart and pragmatic, but still a hopeless romantic willing to risk her life travelling across a war-torn continent for a man she barely knows. It's 1979, and her homeland of Africa is filled with turbulence and uncertainty - yet she is determined in her love for New Zealander Nick James.


Little does she know Nick and his family harbour a deep secret, leaving her to wonder if she truly knows the man she was destined for. Spanning half a century and five countries, delving deep into how family history shapes who we are, Wairaka Point is a story about the truth and what it is to believe in something beyond doubt.
