Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, and in the life of William Larnach, 19th century businessman and politician, this is certainly true. He is perhaps best remembered for the home he built on the Otago Peninsula, known as Larnach Castle. He also has the tragic distinction of being the only politician to commit suicide in Parliament building. His story public and personal continues to fascinate us. After years of research, author Fleur Snedden uncovered an extraordinary man (who also happened to be her great-great-grandfather) with an intriguing story. The result is an engrossing biography of an early New Zealander whose life covers a dynamic period of our history.
