Breathing life into our past.
Jenny Pattrick is an acclaimed historical novelist, whose The
Denniston Rose, and its sequel Heart of Coal, are among New
Zealand's biggest-selling novels. They have also been republished
in an illustrated edition. The former teacher and jeweller's works
include the Whanganui novel Landings, and Inheritance, set in
Samoa, which, along with all her adult titles, have been number one
bestsellers in New Zealand. Other titles include Catching the
Current (2005), In Touch with Grace (2006), Skylark (2012),
Heartland (2014), Leap of Faith (2017) and Harbouring (2022). In
2009 she received the New Zealand Post Mansfield Fellowship. She
has been active in the arts community, and has also written
stories, songs and shows for children.
Identified by Nicky Pellegrino as 'one of this country's most
talented storytellers', it has been said that she creates 'an
authentic stage for a cast of characters who interact in ways that
always ring true' (The Christchurch Press). Reviewing Landings,
Graham Beattie concluded- 'It is not surprising that she is one of
NZ's most popular contemporary novelists and this fine piece of
historical fiction will further enhance that well-deserved
reputation.'
