About the book
Set amidst the physical and psychological landscapes of New Zealand's southern hills and grasslands, Beneath Pale Water is a social realist and expressionistic novel that follows a triangle of three damaged individuals - a sculptor, a vagrant and a model - who have grown calcified shells against the world. Their search for identity and belonging leads them into dangerous territory that threatens both their sanity and lives. As their protective shells crack they are left vulnerable - both physically and emotionally -to the high country winds and their own conflicts that, ultimately, might free - or destroy them.
\"Powerfully evokes the landscapes and seasons of inland Otago.\" Owen Marshall.
