![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I am also an only child who married a fourth-generation New Zealander from a large family. ![]() I’m a first-generation immigrant, having been born in Wales and only arriving in New Zealand at the age of twelve. It felt natural to look at where people had come from, what they brought to a country still learning to be a nation in its own right, and how they helped shape the future. New Zealand is such a young country in terms of settlement that it is a nation of immigrants. Could you tell us a little more about how this led to your first novel? The inspiration for your stories is genealogy. Vicky lives on the North Shore of Auckland, and holds a Master’s degree with First Class Honours in English and Education. Her characters are set amidst the everyday happenings of that time, often rubbing shoulders with well-known names and involved in actual events. As a genealogist in love with history, these immigrants and their descendants drive Vicky’s stories. Vicky Adin is the author of six historical novels inspired by the ordinary men, women and children who emigrated to New Zealand in the late 19th Century. Today we welcome Vicky Adin to the site as part of the Blog Tour for her book, The Costumiers Gift. ![]()
