Ngā marau: Genre/Form: Summary: On the run from an unfortunate 'indiscretion', young Conrad Rasmussen finds refuge in the North Island of New Zealand under the employ of Bishop Monrad, once Prime Minister of Denmark, now vilified for his role in a disastrous war with Prussia. However the past is about to catch up with Conrad - a talented and impetuous Faroeman, known in Jenny Pattrick's Denniston novels as Con the Brake. This is his story, and that of the unusual woman Anahuia. It is a tale of new lands and old songs, of seafaring and war and the search for love. It is also the story of the Faroe Islands and of Denmark's early connection with New Zealand. In Catching the current the free spirit is pitted against the forces of tradition. Full of compelling events, vivid communities and the irresistible character of Conrad Rasmussen, this is a terrific companion novel to the bestselling The Denniston rose and Heart of coal.
