This hard-hitting novel is frank and uncompromising in its portrayal of Maori in New Zealand society. The driving force of writing carries the reader into a world of frustration, resentment and waste. It is a raw, powerful story, in which everyone is a victim until the strength and vision of one woman transcends brutality and leads the way to a new alternative.
