:her great reads Her GREAT READS Here's a quick look at some of our top picks for reads this month: Legend: From Electric Fences to Global Success: The Sir William Gallagher Story Paul Goldsmith Random House NZ $45 The story of New Zealand's most successful exporter and its head, Bill Gallagher, who built on the invention of an electric fence to make the company a world leader in its field. New Zealanders are always being exhorted to take a clever idea and go global. Easier said than done. But one iconic company has been doing just that for over 75 years. Gallagher Industries began in a Hamilton shed in the late 1930s, when a self-taught engineer, Bill Gallagher, came up with a design for an electric fence that transformed New Zealand farming. This fascinating book tells how Kiwi can-do can be transformed into global success — and for the long haul. It hasn't been easy: more than once Gallagher has had to pull his business back from the brink, but his inspired leadership got it through. Other companies may fall to overseas owners or lose their way but under Sir William Gallagher, Gallagher Industries — resourceful, nimble and generous in its philanthropy — is a proud New Zealand business that's here to stay. 122 | www. h e rmagaz i n e . c o. n z Don't Let Me Go Susan Lewis Random House NZ, $29.99 Charlotte Nicholls has made a new life for herself and little Chloe.

It happens to the best of us. But marriage is a division of labour and chances are you've relied on your Better Half for something you can't do yourself – fixing the house, sorting out the finances. When they've gone, you're as helpless as a baby. Enrol on Courses for Divorces and in a week you'll be able to stand on your own two feet. This, plus the beautiful countryside and threecourse dinners with locally-sourced products, will set you on the road to recovery. The first course, Basic Car Maintenance, starts on 15 September. It's cheaper than therapy – and who knows? Maybe it won't just be the sparkplugs that ignite.' Debbie 'Best Exotic' Moggach has struck gold with this fabulous comedy set in the Knockton countryside.

The Girl You Left Behind, Jojo Moyes Penguin Group (NZ), $35 In 1916, French artist Edouard Lefevre leaves his wife Sophie and goes to fight at the Front. When her town falls into German hands, Edouard's portrait of Sophie draws the eye of the new Kommandant. And as his obsession deepens, she will risk everything – her family, reputation and life – in the hope of seeing Edouard again. Nearly a century later, Sophie's portrait is given to Liv by her young husband shortly before his sudden death. Its beauty speaks of their short life together, but when the painting's dark and passion-torn history is revealed, the first spark of new love Liv has felt is threatened . . . In The Girl You Left Behind, two young women separated by a century are united in their determination to fight for the thing they love most - whatever the cost.
