The striking landscape of the MacKenzie Basin provides the backdrop to Winter Time, the new novel from award-winning author Laurence Fearnley. The book follows Roland, who has returned to the region following the unexpected death of his brother, all the while dealing with a discontented partner back in Sydney. To add to the problems, he discovers that someone is impersonating him online and stirring up trouble with the locals.
Fearnley’s previous novel was 2016’s The Quiet Spectacular. That same year she won the NZSA Janet Frame Memorial Award, and in 2017 was the joint winner of the Landfall essay competition for her piece ‘Perfume Counter’. She lives in Dunedin.
