0 - Default Title
Description
Ariel is raised on an isolated farm in New Zealand. She's tough but when she's blamed for an accident for which she has no recollection, her world implodes. Ariel seeks refuge back at university in Dunedin where she prefers the company of old gold-miners bones to real people
Isbell is also tough and running from ghosts. As a young woman she has left behind depression times in Shetland and now makes her way from Ballarat, Australia to the New Zealand goldfields caring for 54 Cobb and Co coach horses in the hold of the SS India. The year is1861.
Is there a link between these two, wrapped in that old shale?
