Tanya Moir
Tanya Moir grew up in a small town in Southland, the deep south of New Zealand, and now lives on the west coast of Auckland with her husband and a large dog.
She is the author of two novels, Anticipation (Random House New Zealand, 2013) and La Rochelle's Road (Random House New Zealand, 2011).
“We're all made to the same pattern. Knitted up like a thrifty housewife's sock from scraps - random unravelled bits of yarn that used to make someone else, chance combinations from the hand-me-down wardrobes of dead strangers.But surely the execution must have an effect? After all, some knit better than others. I could never master it myself.”

“Our house has its back to the sea,' writes Hester in her journal. 'Below us, the ocean spreads to the sky, twitching wide and blue and hungry. One would think it to be infinite. But we, of course, know better.”

“I want to tell you a story about my mother, although of course it is also mine - inherited, along with dangly earlobes and a horror of deep water.”
