New Zealand

'a sometimes humorous, and sometimes tragic New Zealand story' Bella Lacy rides her quad bike on the beach to collect driftwood, and she enjoys soaking in her bathtub under the stars. The hostility of her neighbour threatens her safety and infuriates her beyond endurance, however Ted, the problem solver, is there to help. Her ability to feel things that others don’t frightens and confuses her, yet her love for Ted and her pleasure in the coastal world give her strength. This story provides an insight into human relationships – how difficult it can be to understand others, and how easy to misjudge.
