**Who is trying to scare Rose? This gripping novel is a vivid portrayal of New Zealand in the 1980s.**Rose Kendall is alone. She is isolated from her children, her friends, and her political ideals, and there is someone trying to scare her - she doesn't know why and she doesn't know who.True Stars shows the tensions and divisions in 1980s New Zealand, which were echoed both on a national level and in family relationships, which were crystallised by the 1981 Springbok Tour, and which gnaw at differences in race, gender, class - and politics. It is a savage and often humorous novel set during the last months of the Lange Government. 'With True Stars, Fiona Kidman has become the foremost chronicler of our times.' - Roger Hall, The Dominion
