What others have said:
"With this fascinating odyssey of two different families in mourning Carl Nixon strikes at the most sensitive parts of the human soul... It is definitely worth going on this journey. It takes us not only to the roots of New Zealand but further, to the stranger in all of us."
Anja Hirsch. Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
"Nixon brilliantly manages the balancing act between his characters’ extreme emotions and the culturally explosive issues he is exploring... An exciting New Zealand novel which deals with more than just crime and atonement."
- Awarded Five stars
Meike Dannenburg. Bucher Magazine October/November 2013
"Settlers Creek is a thriller without a crime – a hard and extremely disillusioning book about the ongoing conflict of identity and politics."
Kolja Mensing. Die Zeit
"Atmospheric descriptions of landscapes, lovingly portrayed characters, as well as subtly interlaced family bonds and traditions complete the sometimes very thrilling action."
