Speargrass is a memoir about Hilary Capper (nee Clingin) and her childhood on a farm near Arrowtown, New Zealand, in the 1940s. Hilary’s detailed recall brings to life the places and people important to her, including the Otago settlements of Arrowtown, Queenstown, Glenorchy, Kinloch, and Dunedin.
Central to the story is how farm life in the post-war period shaped family dynamics. The memoir highlights her respect for her parents’ efforts to provide for their family amidst social and economic pressures. Hilary’s memories of Arrowtown School will resonate with those who attended similar schools.
The book traces the marriage of her parents and the differences in their family backgrounds and social expectations. It explores her mother’s family history in Dunedin, with its maritime connections, and the significance of Routeburn, Woodbine, and Earnslaw stations.
The memoir depicts how the seasons influenced daily life, making the most of limited resources, and creating entertainment. It highlights the role of the lake steamer, TSS Earnslaw.
This book will appeal to anyone with a connection to the region and those interested in a unique time and place in New Zealand’s history.
