Stand In the Rain by Jean Watson Pegasus Press, 17s 6d This short novel, a love story written with deceptive simplicity, is one of the best New Zealand stories I have read. The characters live most of the time in the country, leading a nomadic sort of existence pig-hunting, rabbit shooting, scrub-cutting and so on. The relationship between the lovers, the people they meet, and the countryside and townships through which they travel, are described with a total lack of sentimentality, a remarkable naturalness and candour, and poetic sensibility. I am sure that ‘Stand In The Rain” will be widely read. It certainly deserves to be.
