Peter Collie is adrift in the wake of his wife’s death. His attempts to understand the turn his life has taken lead him back to the past, to dismaying events on an Amsterdam houseboat in the seventies; returning to New Zealand and meeting Moira, an amateur painter who carried secrets of her own; and to a trip to Europe years later with his family. An unexpected revelation forces Peter to navigate anew his roles as a husband, father, and son. Set in Wellington after the fall of the Twin Towers, and traversing London, Europe, and the Indian subcontinent, The New Ships is a mesmerizing book of blood-ties that stretch across borders. A novel of acute moral choices, it is a rich and compelling meditation on what it means to act, or to fail to act.

Please note this copy has light scuffs on the edges of the covers and a small neat inscription on the inside page.
