The Journey Back To The Steam Trains Age: A Wonderfully Fascinating Journey Through History: A Time Of Great Poverty

An impressive book, a book that takes you back in time to enjoy the history of New Zealand. Very detailed and wonderfully descriptive, it persuades you into believing that you are there, experiencing the sufferings as well as the joy of the characters.
Set between 1840 and 2040. Four families from different parts of Europe, travel to the 'ends of the earth' and met up in the beautiful settlement of Akaroa South Island New Zealand. A story of love and betrayal and the desire to overcome no matter what comes their way.
The age of steam is when the long journey begins in a time of great poverty. The families are forced by circumstances beyond their control to travel to the other side of the world, leaving behind family members, friends, and their beloved homeland.
