Displaced
An enthralling historical novel of immigration, courage and first love from an award-winning New Zealand author.
Displaced follows Eloise and her family as they leave Cornwall on a treacherous sea journey to start a new life in 1870s colonial New Zealand. During the voyage, Eloise meets Lars, a Norwegian labourer travelling below decks, and their lives begin to intertwine.
When her brother disappears, her father leaves, and the family is left to fend for themselves in their new home, Eloise must find the strength to stand up for what she believes in and the people she loves.
