Captain Hector McQuarrie, a seasoned shipwright, sails from Mull, Scotland in 1855 for a burgeoning new world in Australasia. Buoyed with bright hopes and infused with the Clan McQuarrie spirit, He courageously forges new endeavours, settling in Auckland, New Zealand.

In this same spirit, young Euphemia McQuarrie juggles managing the home and falling in love, all while seeking independence and challenging for women’s right to equality, breaking out of society’s constraints to win the right to vote.

However, they are tested to the core. While experiencing struggles and storms at home, at sea and economically, and after losing a mother and sister to tuberculosis, they must also accept that the same disease may yet claim another.

Description

Young, charismatic Harry Bagust strives to cast off the garments of poverty, shame and kept secrets while struggling to fulfil dreams of a better life for himself and his family. With a tenacious, competitive spirit, he searches for that pot of gold in his business pursuits, sporting prowess, and a quest for a father figure, yet in his life, success seems just out of reach.
Captured by his charm in a chance encounter, the McQuarrie sisters are drawn into complex relationships of passion and grief. Though enthralled by Euphemia McQuarrie’s courage, Harry is
dutifully joined to another, but, as that marriage fails, he returns to an independent Euphemia, who now will not commit to a life of marriage.
Harry is in love with one sister, betrothed to another, then in a twist, marries the third. However, Euphemia still shares Harry’s first love.
A romantic, an optimist and a pioneer in every sense, Harry’s courage, blood, sweat, and tears are soaked into New Zealand’s very landscape and infrastructure.
