Philippa Jamieson was born to two librarian parents, and has worked in bookselling and publishing.
In 2002 she began a journey around New Zealand for two and a half years on the WWOOF scheme, volunteering on 40 different organic farms and gardens, and wrote a book about her experiences: The Wild Green Yonder (copies are now available direct from the author).

Loved it. Loved the story, the language, the characters, particularly of course Demon (Damon), the protagonist. His voice is unique and so well done. His descriptions and commentary on life are fresh and original.

Philippa and 27 other people liked Meikura Williams's review of All That We Know:
All That We Know by Shilo Kino
"3.5!
A lot of really relatable parts of Māreikura personality to mine and my mates! One thing that probably was a bit unrealistic was Māreikura’s bullying treatment of Pākehā in the story. I personally don’t know any kaiako Māori that wouldn’t have p" Read more of this review »

All That We Know by Shilo Kino
"4.5. Reviewing as a pākeha. A great and easy read, but uncomfortable at times. I think in a way I’m a little bit of a Chloe, trying and listening and learning. Blessed to be in the orbit of some great tangata whenua (including two by marriage) who ar" Read more of this review »

"Wow. Just Wow.

I'm going to start off with.. I truly believe this is one of those rare books that everyone needs to read at least once in their life, the message that this pukapuka holds is POWERFUL, and I feel like Shilo Kino has really set the bar f" Read more of this review »

Aue te mamae me te aroha! What a ride. Loved it. Heartwarming sounds a bit cliche, but it really was.
The uber staunch (on the outside) main character Māreikura finds out through the "journey" of a year learning te reo, friendships, podcasting and whā

Another engaging read in the Hana Westerman series. Pacy and plenty of drama, authentic characters and dialogue, and not always the outcomes or ending one might expect.

Like the previous books, I found the footnotes with translations of te reo Māori

“The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they'll ease
Your will they'll mend
And charge you not a shilling.”

-- Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields, What the River Knows, 1990”
