After Z - Hour. Novel reissued it to coincide with the WWI centenary.


After Z Hour by Elizabeth Knox
(new edition, novel, $30)

Elizabeth Knox's After Z Hour was her first published novel back in 1987 and VUP have reissued it to coincide with the WWI centenary. Told in multiple voices by a group of people stranded in an old house on Takaka Hill in a storm, the novel has the hallmarks of vivacity and other-worldliness that have won Knox a large readership over her long writing career.

Read an interview with Elizabeth Knox by Anna Smaill about After Z Hour on the NZ Book Council site.

This was the first Knox I read: loved it and moved onto her other adult fiction. Never regretted the trip yet.
