{"product_id":"the-gorse-blooms-pale-dan-davins-southland-stories","title":"The Gorse Blooms Pale: Dan Davin's Southland Stories","description":"Dan Davin, one of New Zealand’s acknowledged masters of the short story, was born in Invercargill in 1913. The Gorse Blooms Pale gathers together twenty-six stories and a selection of poems reflecting his experiences while growing up in an Irish–New Zealand family in Southland. Comic, haunting, poetic, profound, and lyrical, the stories have a regional flavour quite unlike any other body of work in New Zealand literature. They insightfully capture the character of a close-knit rural community and its post-British social relationships and tribulations, with a flair equal to such other New Zealand writers as Sargeson, Frame, Middleton, or Marshall. The Gorse Blooms Pale is a rare treasure in the landscape of twentieth-century New Zealand literature.","brand":"Otago University Press","offers":[{"title":"As New \/ 41e9be81989","offer_id":48067901358231,"sku":"9781877372421-AS-000100001","price":14.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/9002\/8951\/files\/11507973482856.jpg?v=1785055242","url":"https:\/\/thriftreads.co.nz\/products\/the-gorse-blooms-pale-dan-davins-southland-stories","provider":"Thrift Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
