Sideways New Zealand [sound recording] / by Pickett, Rex,author.(CARDINAL)675428; Brick, Scott,narrator.(CARDINAL)344793;
Read by Scott Brick.Miles Raymond resurfaces in New Zealand. All he has in life is a half hectare of Pinot Noir, a guest cottage, a special needs cat named Max, and a winemaker partner pressing him for more commitment. These modest assets are balanced by the impending publication of Miles's new novel, A Year of Pure Feeling. His fledgling publicist has arranged for a book tour that will take Miles along the east coast of New Zealand, from Oamaru to Auckland. Jack Manse, after a divorce and a financial disaster, has reinvented himself and gleefully volunteers to copilot, too delighted at the prospect of a road trip and a reunion with Miles to heed his friend's objections.
