Isolation: A New Zealand Historical fiction novel; based on fact - Paperback

by Sue Towler (Author)

Inspired by a true story, ISOLATION is historical fiction, based on fact. The 1800's was a difficult era in New Zealand History when only one third of European Migrants survived the first three years.

Newly-weds, Meghan and James Morley, leave England in 1849 aboard the ship, The Roman Emperor, bound for New Zealand. They have such hope in their hearts for an exciting new life, but they weren't prepared for what awaited them. The land is breathtaking but at times can be very unforgiving. The lifestyle can be rewarding but also harsh and soul destroying. Despite their pioneering spirit and courage, their journey through the trials and tribulations of early colonisation tests them to the limit of their endurance.
