    The Applecross Saga Series

    By Amanda Giorgis

    ()

    About this series

    The year is 1880 and cousins John James Mackenzie and Sam Morling set out to make a new life for themselves in Scotland.

     

    Having never ventured beyond the shores of New Zealand, they seek adventure and excitement on their journey before settling at the Scottish estate owned by the Mackenzies, where, with John James' farming experience and Sam's desire for landscaping, they hope to restore the house and grounds to their former glory.

     

    The estate manager's daughter, Flora Brown, is not only pretty, but clever and determined. She has her own ideas and dreams of a life in New Zealand with the laird's son. She fears she will be overlooked because of her lowly social standing, but intends to try everything she can to make him notice her.

     

    Isabella, daughter of the neighbouring estate, shares Sam Morling's passion for plants. As love begins to blossom between them, Isabella finds her way blocked by her cruel and over-bearing brother who considers gentle Sam to be an entirely unsuitable match.

     

    Meanwhile, at Applecross sheep station, James and Sophia Mackenzie are growing older, much in need of their son's help. Sophia has always believed that her son would stay in Scotland forever, though James disagrees and expects him to do his duty on the farm. A sudden change of circumstances requires John James' immediate return, bringing with him echoes of his father's past.

     

    'Flora Brown' is the 7th book in the Applecross Saga.

      The girls are growing up. Not for them the daily grind of family life. Not yet anyway. After all, it is 1873. Women have more opportunities than ever before, especially in New Zealand in an era of great prosperity and progress.   Five years have passed since we last visited the Mackenzies. Applecross sheep station is thriving, more people than ever have made it their home. There are changes everywhere, big and small, but James and Sophia remain the solid, dependable mainstay of life in the rural community. Until a dramatic incident rocks the very foundations of Mackenzie's Basin.   We join Heather, Caroline and Adey Rose, daughters of the Basin, as they blossom into young ladies, find their feet in the burgeoning city of Christchurch and take their first hesitant steps into the world of romance.   However, the draw of Applecross is strong……..

      In the sheep country of Canterbury and Otago the native tussock lands had reached the end of their useful life by the 1870s and were sown with European grasses - mainly ryegrass, timothy, cocksfoot and clover.   Rural New Zealand in 1876. A time of prosperity for Applecross sheep station. However, dark clouds are gathering over the settlers of Mackenzie's Basin.   James Mackenzie is good at his job. Quality wool from his flock is valued around the world. But his son, John James sees the future differently, embracing new ideas and opening up new markets. Will father and son reach a compromise that will allow Applecross to survive through the threat of pestilence and fire? Will Captain Shepherd's legacy offer the opportunity for his beloved family to spread their wings?   Join James, Sophia and all the folk of Applecross as, once more, they celebrate triumph and success while joining together to face adversity and tragedy against a backdrop of an ever-changing world.
