The Disenchanted Soldier

From soldier to pacifist: In 1863, young Daniel Adin, a trained soldier, embarks on an adventure of a lifetime. In pursuit of a new life and land to farm, he travels to New Zealand to fight an unknown enemy - the fearless Maori. A hundred and thirty years later, Libby is fascinated by the stories of Daniel, who looks down at her from the aged black-and-white photos on the walls. She wants to know more, to know what he was really like, but Daniel's story is more than she had bargained for.From the award-winning author of 'Brigid The Girl from County Clare' and 'Gwenna The Welsh Confectioner', whose writing has been compared to that of Catherine Cookson's.
