Description

The Godwits Fly by Robin Hyde. Edited and introduced by Patrick Sandbrook. First published in 1937. Eliza Hannay's gaze is Robin Hyde's; poetic, sharply observant of the land and its transplanted people living on top of those other stories about an earth mother and a sky father. Eliza grows up connecting the parable, visible Wellington of the 1910s childhood with its just-out-of-sight history and its insistent attachment to an intangible England. She tests herself against the mores of her family, her friends and a social order which values conformity and respectability above investigation of what it means to live at the beginning of the long decolonising movement of the twentieth century in Aotearoa/New Zealand.
