A reissue of a New Zealand classic novel, with an extensive introduction by Patrick Sandbrook, one of the group of scholars working on the Hyde project.

Reviews
Originally published in 1938, The Godwits Fly has lost nothing through the passage of time. Hyde’s writing, put simply, is a pleasure to read. Her lyrical prose is spellbinding, her characters full-bodied, and the themes she explores provoke thought well beyond the covers of the novel. – Steve Scott, The Press
