A beautiful and sweeping historical novel that takes the reader
from the west coast of New Zealand, to Scotland and Melbourne in
the 1870s 'Its portrayal of life in a gold-rush town is vivid, and
Rose's story is absorbing' The Times 'Worth reading for its
occasional streaks of brilliance and insight' Telegraph India 'A
epic read . . . a beautifully written, evocative novel that I
anticipate you reading and re-reading for years to come' Woman's
Way 'A gripping page-turner' Woman 1866. Will Stewart is one of
many who have left their old lives behind to seek their fortunes in
New Zealand's last great gold rush. The conditions are hostile and
the outlook bleak, but he must push on in his uncertain search for
the elusive buried treasure. Rose is about to arrive on the shores
of South Island when a storm hits and her ship is wrecked. Just
when all seems lost she is snatched from the jaws of death by Will,
who risks his life to save her. Drawn together by circumstance,
they stay together by choice and for a while it seems that their
stars have finally aligned. But after a terrible misunderstanding
they are cruelly separated, and their new-found happiness is
shattered. As Will chases Rose across oceans and continents, he
must come to terms with the possibility that he might never see her
again. And if he does, he will have to face the man who took her .
. . Readers love Alchemy and Rose: 'A real rollercoaster of
emotions' 5* reader review 'One of her best yet' 5* reader review
'Both gripping and romantic (quite a combination!) and keeps you
hooked right up to the end' 5* reader review 'One of those books
that you need to find out what happened, but at the same time you
don't want it to finish' 5* reader review 'Couldn't put it down, a
real page turner' 5* reader review
