I'll have to give this a try another time. I found the content too distressing, the number of characters too large, the Maori culture and language so pervasive that I was often confused about who and what. I was getting closer to sorting it all out...after almost 100 pages...but decided "not now." Won the Kiriyami prize for Pacific rim fiction.

Really good. A bit challenging to follow at times... a few parts felt kind of Faulkner-esque. Grace gives the reader a sense of modern day Maori culture. Especially interesting are the connections with global tourism and with Maori diaspora.
