The Good Life on Te Muna Road by Deborah Coddington
The first time Deborah Coddington lived in Martinborough was in the height of the hippie era, when the area attracted poets, protesters, novelists, photographers, artists and activists. Nearly forty years on, with a successful career as a journalist, a stint as a restaurateur and a term in parliament behind her, Deborah returned to Martinborough not quite sure of the welcome she would receive. In this wry, amusing and heart-warming memoir she writes about finding love, the death of her mother, the vicissitudes of being a wine grower, the joy of life with her beloved animals and being welcomed into a small rural community full of outstanding and entertaining individuals. Confiding, candid, and generous of heart, this is a tribute to small town New Zealand
