The McQuarrie Sisters

A sequel to The McQuarries

Young, charismatic Harry Bagust strives to cast off garments of poverty, shame and kept secrets while struggling to fulfill dreams of a better life for himself and his family. With a tenacious, competitive spirit, he searches for that pot of gold in his business pursuits, sporting prowess, and a quest for a father figure, yet in his life success seems just out of reach.

Captured by his charm in a chance encounter, the McQuarrie sisters are drawn into complex relationships of passion and grief. Though enthralled by Euphemia McQuarrie's courage, Harry is dutifully joined to another, but, as that marriage fails, he returns to an independent Euphemia, who now will not commit to a life of marriage.

Harry is in love with one sister, betrothed to another, then in a twist, marries the third. However, Euphemia still shares Harry's first love.

A romantic, an optimist and pioneer in every sense, Harry's courage, blood, sweat and tears are soaked into New Zealand's very landscape and infrastructure.
