First published in Great Britain in 2003 by Chatto & Windus.
"Joseph and Harriet Blackstone, along with Joseph's mother Lilian, emigrate from Norfolk in search of new beginnings and prosperity. But the harsh land near Christchurch where they settle threatens to destroy them almost before they begin. When Joseph finds gold in the creek, he guiltily hides the discovery from his wife and mother and is seized by a rapturous obsession with the voluptuous riches awaiting him deep in the earth. Abandoning his farm and family, he sets off alone for the new gold-fields over the Southern Alps, a moral wildnerness where many others, under the seductive dreams of 'the colour', are violently rushing to their destinies."--BOOK JACKET.
