'Blokes Muddling Through'

In Blokes Muddling Through, award-winning author p.d.r. lindsay presents an unforgettable collection of literary short fiction set in rural New Zealand. These interconnected tales explore themes of ageing, communication, family conflict, and the fierce love of land that defines a way of life under threat. These men aren't eloquent. They're farmers, bus drivers, gardeners who express themselves through action rather than words.
But when developers threaten their land, tourists misunderstand their intentions, or family members dismiss their values, they discover reserves of determination, cunning, and even desperation they never knew they possessed. With touches of humour, hints of the mysterious, and genuine emotional resonance, this collection celebrates ordinary people facing extraordinary pressures. Whether you're drawn to literary fiction, enjoy stories with strong sense of place, or appreciate authentic portrayals of rural communities, Blokes Muddling Through offers six unforgettable journeys into the hearts of men who may not have the words, but definitely have the will.
