From the soot-stained alleys of East London to the wild, untamed beauty of colonial New Zealand, Maggie is a sweeping tale of grit, survival, and reinvention.
When Maggie flees the shadows of a brutal life in Victorian London, she boards a ship bound for the other side of the world with little more than a fierce will to survive. What awaits her in New Zealand is no paradise-only hardship, danger, and a land as raw and unpredictable as the gold rush men who roam it.
She lands in New Zealand with nothing but her wit, grit, and the will to start over. In the rough mining town of Hokitika, she carves out a new life, eventually rising to become the owner of a thriving dance hall, and later, a woman of influence in Queenstown.
Set against a backdrop of colonial ambition, rough justice, and the intoxicating promise of reinvention, Maggie is a gripping story of one woman's unrelenting fight to claim her place in a world built to keep her silent.
Perfect for fans of The Luminaries and The Colour, this novel pulses with resilience, danger, and the fierce joy of freedom hard won.
