First published in 1938, this novel conveys the intense feelings of an adolescent in love, poetry and England. It pictures life in early 20th-century Wellington, its physical details, emotional tensions, muddle and variety.
An entirely new edition of Robin Hyde's wistful and engaging classic novel, first published in 1938 and in print ever since. The Godwits Fly vividly conveys the intensely felt worlds of the adolescent--love, poetry and England--and the enthralling but sometimes painful experience of growing up female.
