p.d.r. lindsay (no capitals please in tribute to a favourite poet, e. e. cummings) makes New Zealand home. Born in Ireland, brought up in Yorkshire, educated in England, Canada and New Zealand, writer p.d.r. lindsay is also Mrs Salmon, Ms Lindsay-Salmon and even for eight years in Japan, Professor Lindsay-Salmon. This wide experience of different cultures colours her writing and keeps her travelling.
Social issues are her main concern which is why she writes historical stories about ordinary people, the ones whose names and lives we don't know much about. Reading the diaries and letters of parsons and farmers, wives and daughters, merchants and tradesmen showed her how the basic human dilemmas do not change over the centuries. She finds that certain human trait both good and bad, can be better shown through historical stories than through contemporary ones and hopes that readers will think about those failings as they apply to today.
Anna Edding, after an exciting childhood and life in Asia just wants a quiet life. Happy to spend time in rural New Zealand she has been avoiding all the welcoming locals until the twins arrive in her garden. Sam and Ben want to save their pet sheep from becoming lamb chops and want Anna to teach them how to knit so that they can show their Dad that the wool is more valuable than the meat. Dad, struggling alone since the twins' mother died when they were babies, is not impressed and Anna has to work hard to persuade him.
