Set
in
mid-century
New
Zealand,
Robinson
takes
the
reader
on
a
spellbinding
journey
back
to
post-war
New
Zealand
and
beyond.
She
then
brings
us
forward
as
she
shares
her
nation’s
triumphs
and
tragedies
–
alongside
her
own
personal
ones.Robinson
was
tormented
by
the
four
deadly
fears
she
inherited
from
her
mother
–
God,
the
Devil,
her
Father
and
the
Catholic
Church.
Although
a
feisty
child
with
a
dazzling
measure
of
determination,
this
did
not
save
her
from
coercion
into
marriage
to
an
older
man
when
she
was
a
teenager.
Years
of
marital
unhappiness
follow.The
second
half
of
the
memoir
tells
the
story
of
the
Catholic
priest
Robinson
fell
in
love
with.
Easily
coerced
into
the
priesthood
at
a
young
age,
the
expectation
to
put
catholic
dogma
ahead
of
human
needs
is
an
ongoing
struggle
for
Father
Brian.
He
then
meets
Robinson
and
his
love
for
her
sets
him
on
a
collision
course
with
the
church.Where
the
Rainbow
Fell
Down
is
a
powerful
memoir
that
will
have
you
both
laughing
and
crying.
With
a
refreshing
absence
of
the
self-pity
genre,
it
is
a
riveting
and
inspiring read.
