Where the Rekohu Bone Sings (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

An unshrinking book, which faces the issues of Moriori rights and status, the culpability and cultural obligations of Maori as tangata whenua and British as colonists. A generous book also. The author respects her characters but doesn't ignore their sulks and selfishness. People can exploit, enslave, abandon but they can also commit enriching acts of kindness. And did I mention that it has happy - or at least reconciled and fulfilled - endings plural? Great.
