ABOUT
A portrait of outstanding expatriate New Zealanders.
A series of vivid biographical sketches of New Zealanders who built remarkable careers abroad, capturing the mix of ambition, restlessness, and talent that propelled them beyond their homeland.
Harris profiles artists, scientists, athletes, writers, and adventurers, tracing how early influences in New Zealand shaped their later achievements on the world stage.
