Synopsis

In the exhilarating conclusion to the internationally bestselling In the Land of the Long White Cloud trilogy, the spirited Warden and McKenzie clan continues its trials—and triumphs—in New Zealand and beyond.The great-granddaughter of Gwyneira McKenzie—who arrived in New Zealand as a naïve young bride in In the Land of the Long White Cloud—Gloria Martyn has enjoyed an idyllic childhood at Kiward Station, her family’s sprawling sheep farm in the Canterbury Plains. When her parents send word from Europe that it’s time for Gloria to become a proper “lady” by attending boarding school half a world away in England, Gloria must leave everything and everyone she loves most in the world, including her steadfast protector Jack McKenzie. Wrenched from her beloved homeland and struggling to fit in with the stifling strictures of British boarding-school life, Gloria has never felt more alone. Upon discovering that her parents have no intention of ever sending her home, Gloria takes matters into her own hands and sets off on an adventure that will change her forever.A stirring coming-of-age tale of love, loss, endurance, shame, and redemption that takes readers from the lush plains of New Zealand’s South Island to the bloody shores of Gallipoli, across Australia’s Northern Territory and beyond, Call of the Kiwi is a profoundly satisfying conclusion to the saga that has captured readers’ hearts across the globe.

Goodreads review by Beatriz on July 18, 2021

Última entrega de la trilogía, narrada tan magistralmente como las anteriores. Sin embargo, en el intento de hacerla más impactante, la historia se siente un poco forzada, con situaciones inverosímiles y con algunos personajes poco convincentes en su actuar. Por lo demás, se lee igual de bien y provo......more

Goodreads review by Carmun on March 19, 2018

Igual merece algo más de 3 estrellas, sin embargo, este texto no ha conseguido motivarme y cautivarme como lo han hecho las entregas anteriores. En algunos puntos me parece sumamente aburrido y solo he conseguido acabarlo por respeto a aquellos personajes a los que se les coge respeto y cariño tras......more

Goodreads review by Ivy on February 06, 2019

Oh man, da ist es vorbei. Und es war toll. Eine starke Trilogie. Da fiebert man über drei Bände hinweg mit den Figuren mit, begleitet Generationen auf ihrem Weg und wird fast schon ein Teil der aufregenden Familiensaga. Ich muss sagen es gab Stellen in dem Buch, bei denen ich mir überlegt habe, wie......more

Goodreads review by Claudia - BookButterflies on August 29, 2018

Ein würdiges Ende einer wunderbaren Trilogie! Ich habe alle Bände geliebt, mit den Charakteren mitgelitten und mich geffreut! Ihre Lebenswege begleitet und die Familiengeschichten in mich aufgesogen. Dabei habe ich unfassbar viel über Neuseelands Geschichte, die Maorie-Kultur und nun zuletzt auch de......more

Goodreads review by Cititor on May 07, 2020

Strigătul păsării Kiwi încheie trilogia Noua Zeelandă într-un mod apoteotic, cu strănepoții celor două mirese venite în Noua Zeelandă pentru a-și începe noua viață. Acest ultim volum mi-a plăcut mai puțin decât precedentele două, căci personajele principale, Jack și Gloria trec prin adevărate drame,......more
