Winner of the 1987 New Zealand Fiction Award, this is a work of spellbinding power that weaves myths of older times into the political realities of today. Set amid fear and confusion, Patricia Grace’s novel about a coastal community faced with mortal danger is a masterpiece of Maori fiction; “as delicate as a Japanese brushwork, yet as poignant and throat-aching as the loss of a loved one.”
