Synopsis

The Eldest Girl is a family drama spanning three generations. It moves between the 1960s
with Tom, fresh off the boat from England who falls in love with the seemingly unattainable
Ngahere, and 2010 where Cassius, their son, is grieving the death of his wife, Mere, and
barely able to parent their children. When Mere's twin sister returns home a successful
film producer and her troubled director husband leaves, she enlists Cassius's help with her
three children. Tensions grow when Kiri, Cassius's daughter, becomes jealous and rebels,
a daughter Tom never knew he had turns up, and the pressures of juggling a film project, a
drunk husband and children increase. But when Tom has a heart attack and family secrets
emerge, relationships are examined, and connections are retied.

    Throughout the long centuries of human history is the want, and the need, to share information, to exchange ideas and for that knowledge and experience, for curiosity and learning, to be the basis of a civil society. 
    In literature the ambition is much narrower.  In order to be known, to be popular, you had to be published.  And for that people had to know you existed and your ideas worth reading.  Obviously for most of humanity’s time people couldn’t read and texts couldn’t be published in any great number. 
    In the 15th Century Gutenberg’s printing press began the revolution to address the second and by the 19th century had gathered pace with startling speed and mass distribution.  Education for the many was brought in to help people understand more of their world and, with new skills, how to have a better place within it.  Now, if the powers that owned the presses and means of distribution agreed an audience would now be able to avail themselves of your ideas, your printed words.  
    Sadly, in the thirst for the new, the recent and the past fell from sight, relegated to dark corners and dusty shelves.   
    But the printed word is rarely without someone, somewhere busying themselves through piles of papers and books rediscovering what a good story is, whatever its age. 
    In this volume we offer up a small selection of those talents whose time has now come again.
