Description
In this powerful novel, a close-knit Māori community on the coast of New Zealand faces an existential threat from a determined land developer. As their ancestral lands are targeted for acquisition, the community must draw upon their deep cultural heritage and collective strength to resist. The story unfolds through the eyes of its unique inhabitants, revealing the enduring spirit of a people fighting to preserve their identity, traditions, and way of life against the encroaching forces of modernity. Patricia Grace masterfully weaves a narrative rich with the nuances of Māori culture, exploring themes of land, belonging, and the resilience of the human spirit.
