MICHAEL MORRISSEY - NZ Author

PARADISE TO COME - 'Paradise to Come imaginatively combines two novellas, each of which describes the extraordinary experience of visitors to New Zealand.

In Terra Incognita, the crew of San Lesmes, with the aid of firearms, mirrors and a Patagonian giant, reach an accommodation with their Maori "hosts".

Captain Nemo's Child is a tender, amusing and fast-moving tale about immigration today. Siew Yen, a qualified architect, is having difficulty finding employment in her newly adopted country, and her funds are running low. Her friend Bee Leng is better off - until their house is burgled and the immigration authorities pay a visit.'.

A medium trade paperback of 174 pages, published by Flamingo (Harper Collins). A near new copy.
