It's about a gold mining community in New Zealand in the 1860s. And a murder mystery. And about 12 fascinating principal characters. And about the ethnic variation of the population. And about the South Sea and Oriental Trade. And about the Zodiac. This is an amazing and profound book. This snapshot doesn't begin to describe how remarkable this book is. The 2013 Man Booker winner.
