Description
New Zealand, 1893: William Martyn is better educated and more cultivated than the other men breaking their backs searching for gold near Queenstown. William is the son of landed Irish nobility, and he comes to town ready to invest in the best equipment. On his search for supplies, he encounters spirited and beautiful young Elaine O’Keefe, who promptly falls in love with him.
He is captivated by her charms until Kura, Elaine's half-Maori cousin, comes to visit. William succumbs at once to Kura's exotic beauty and free-spiritedness, and tension develops not only between the two cousins but also between the colonial settlers and their Maori neighbors.

1893 New Zealand, Book 2 in Series, EXCELLENT!
This second book in the Land of the Long White Cloud series is just as good as the first. The beauty of New Zealand shines through, as does the history and ruggedness of the era, 1893 through 1898 (sixteen years after the first book). The story continues as Kura, Gwyn's half Maori granddaughter falls in love with William Martyn (stealing him away from her shy cousin, Elaine). No one has ever been able to tame or discipline, Kura, whose Maori mother, left her with Gwyn to raise at an early age. All the family from the first book blend naturally into Song of the Spirits, growing, changing, maturing, finding their places with children and grandchildren . . .and with the land. The writing has such depth and beauty . . . and is clean and refreshing (although it does contain Maori tradition and historical content true to the time period). Although the books are lengthy, I wouldn't change a thing.

Can be read as a stand-alone novel
Following extended families of the heroines we met in the first book of the series. More lively and entertaining story that definitely holds the reader! I liked this more, than the first part. The book can be read as a stand- alone novel, too.

Enjoyable
Any additional comments?
The second in the series, this book recounts the second generation. As with the other novels in the series, I had hoped for more Maori participation with less emphasis on 'tribe' and 'witch doctor' type stuff.
The Maori are a wonderful people with a rich and proud history.
It's a romance novel, and fiction, but some of the things the characters get into are eye-rolling.
Still, I enjoyed it and did purchase the whole series.

This series is a fun read - from Eng. to Australia
At the turn of the century in England that live with the class system. There was no chance to climb the ladder, make yourself better. The star of these stories left England to be a teacher in Australia - things happen - and well she had a great adventure.

Easy listening story, narrator is not my cuppa
The series is enjoyable. It's simple, easy to follow, nice escapism, good story lines with characters you can get to know over the long haul. It lacks any real level of historical detail so you won't get distracted by historical inaccuracies. The story is about the characters and the author relies very little on historical details of the period in which the characters live. The sparse descriptions of fashion, industry, sheep farming, mining operations, etc. are all era appropriate but shallow enough to escape any dissection for historical accuracy. Nobody was wearing watch chains, tricorn hats, short pants, bikinis or stilettos when the Singer sewing machine made its debut.
Narrator is too 'breathy' for my taste...imbuing words and sentence ends with forced breath / whisper hues makes my ears cringe. Avid audio listeners know what I mean. I've been cringing for 40 hours now but, I'm going to listen to the last installment because it's an enjoyable enough story.

Enjoyable family saga
This is book 2 and the same disconnects continued from the first audiobook. That said, it's still a very enjoyable family saga. I still got what I wanted out of this book, interesting and twisted characters, a fast-moving plot/storyline and historical insight into New Zealand's European colonial beginnings.
Would recommend to family & friends.
