| Summary |
Twenty-six stories, drawn from the rich oral culture of an Irish-Catholic childhood in Southland and written between 1934 and 1989, explore and reflect on that experience. The gorse blooms pale brings together Davin's Southland stories, published and unpublished, for the first time. The stories capture the character of a tightly-knit community on the edge of town |
