Marriage transplants Sarah thousands of miles from home, a failed love affair forces Phoebe to make drastic choices in a new environment, a sudden, shocking discovery brings Mrs Ellis to reconsider her life as an emigrant-The Settling Earth is a collection of ten, interlinked stories, focusing on the British settler experience in colonial New Zealand, and the settlers' attempts to make sense of life in a strange new land. Sacrifices, conflict, a growing love for the landscape, a recognition of the succour offered by New Zealand to Maori and settler communities-these are themes explored in the book. The final story in the collection, written by Shelly Davies of the Ngatiwai tribe, adds a Maori perspective to the experience of British settlement in their land.
