I thoroughly enjoyed this book for the interesting local history as well as being a jolly good read with interesting and mostly believable characters considering the times social setting. Rose? No she wasn't very nice but with a mother like that who is surprised! I think I read a follow on book but the title escapes me. This was definitely the best in the series and well worth the read.

This was a great read, full of cultural origins about people and the effect of their race, creed and status, how it transponds to make others in that community take a good look at themselves, in many cases discovering that they too are as biased as everyone else in some sort of way. The courage and diversity of the lovely although determined Rose was an inspiration to me.

Jenny Pattrick established has established herself as a fine New Zealand Author and with The Denniston Rose she cements this reputation irrevokeably. The skill with which the relationships within this is unmatchable in any modern novel. I absolutely loved this book and know that you will too. Genuinely one of the better books I have read.

I have to say that i judge the quality of the book by the cover! When i first saw this , i thought it would be a horrible and utterly boring story however a friend of mine forced me to buy it and i'm so glad she did. It truly is a wonderful story that anyone would love! Grab it- it's a great read

Very much labelled as 'good' because it is a New Zealand book. I regret that we have to scrape around for talet, leading to this book being hailed by most. Although a good concept, and descriptive, the writing was clunky and unable to produce a good flow. The storyline was improbable and the main character annoying.
