Tattersoull18

The year is 1918. The Great War is almost over, but the world now faces something even deadlier – a devastating influenza epidemic that the authorities seem determined to cover up.

 Corporal Adam Tattersoull has left the battlefields of France and returned home to New Zealand. He is tormented by memories of the war and, even more so, by a transgression he has kept hidden for years.

 Nurse Eliza McPherson is fleeing her home in Dunedin to start a new life in Northland – as far away as possible from the shameful secret she is trying to outrun.

 Dr Hermann Mann has spent the war incarcerated on a prison island in the Wellington Harbour, his only crime being his country of birth. Now he is determined to escape at any cost.

 When fate brings these three desperate people together, they find themselves united against a terrifying foe. Tattersoull 18 is a story of guilt, innocence, love and redemption, set in a place that is sometimes dramatically different, sometimes eerily similar to twenty-first century New Zealand.
