Essie Summers Ordre des livres (chronologique)
Essie Summers était une auteure néo-zélandaise dont les représentations vives des gens et du paysage de son pays natal furent si acclamées qu'on lui offrit l'Ordre de l'Empire britannique pour ses contributions au tourisme néo-zélandais. Son œuvre s'inspire d'une riche tradition narrative et d'une fascination pour la vie des pionniers, nourrie par les récits d'enfance et l'influence de ses parents. Après ses premières expériences de travail dans des magasins de nouveautés, elle a canalisé ces aperçus dans les romans d'amour qui l'ont rendue célèbre. Épouse d'un pasteur et mère de deux enfants, elle a toujours trouvé des occasions d'écrire des nouvelles, de la poésie et des chroniques.

Marty made a thoughtless little joke about going to New Zealand tolook for a susceptible bachelor with a seven-thousand-a-year wool clip, and unfortunately Philip Griffiths overheard and took her seriously. So when she found that she was to settle in his part of the country, she had to work very hard to show him that she wasnot specially interested in men and least of all in him.
Janet's relationship to the ten-year-old orphaned triplets was complicated - she was the daughter of her father's first wife, and they were the children of his second wife - but the tie of affection was very strong. When their grandfather in New Zealand decided to bring the children to live on his farm and sent his nephew Morgan Mackay to fetch them, Janet made up her mind to go too. However, through a series of misunderstandings, Janet convinced Morgan that she bore no relation to the youngsters, and he was less than pleased to discover her deception. He agreed not to send her away immediately if she would agree to a 'pretence' engagement to him to further some scheme of his own. What had Janet gotten herself into now?
