Dark Palace Jewish studies of a being who won't

of a being who won't let them sleep

keeping the population in a perpetual dark age

who gives her more than a sense of security

You have nothing to lose but the kilos

rich doses of handy knowledge are intermingled with reflective essays and visual visits to some of her favourite New Zealand gardens

But his trilogy following a young Australian diplomat at the founding of the League of Nations is a masterpiece. In Edith Campbell Berry, his heroine, he created one of the enduring characters in literature. The trilogy is Grand Days, Dark Palace and Cold Light. All are must reads.' Michael Williams,
