À propos de ce contenu audio
Through vivid characterizations of people and place, Joyce West’s storytelling - evocative of L. M. Montgomery’s in her Anne of Green Gables series - draws her listener into the richly-textured, rural setting of New Zealand in the mid-20th century.
In this first book, young Gabrielle Allan (called Gay) is living contentedly on Drovers Road, her uncle Dunsany’s sheep station in the hill country a hundred miles from Gisborne. Besides her young, bachelor uncle there are her three orphaned cousins - Eve, Hugh and Merry - and their great-aunt Belle.
Taken in by Dunsany years before, after her parents’ divorce, Gay now scarcely remembers any other life. There are lessons at the local school, taught by pretty, sensible Susan Leigh, regular chores, plenty of riding and jumping, pranks with Merry, unlikely pets - and abundant potential for unexpected adventures.
In a story filled with unforgettable characters (human and otherwise), horse shows and hunts, careless actions and scary consequences, happy (and not-so-happy) romances, young Gabrielle learns something about love and trust through the shared ups and downs of a very human, but also very caring family and extended community.
