Based partly on a true story, this is a novel about two women immigrants to New Zealand and their interconnecting stories. Olga On a summer’s night in 1944, twelve-year-old Olga allows an untrue rumour to circulate in her Dalmatian village. This misunderstanding reverberates through the final stages of World War II, the refugee camps of Egypt and finally, a new life in New Zealand. Pualele Nine-year-old Pualele arrives in New Zealand in 1978 as part of an illegal family adoption. Life is frightening as Police conduct dawn raids searching for Pacific Islanders who have overstayed their visas. When she is finally called back to Samoa as an adult, she must decide who she is and where she belongs. Rich Man Road is about lost love, guilt and the sometimes difficult relationship between mothers and daughters. Olga and Pualele come from different worlds but their lives are connected in ways they cannot imagine.

Fine: In very good condition.
