I love how Patricia Grace writes about family relationships against the back drop of Aotearoas history.

While it was a little slow to kick off, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. A really unique story across generations of Māori New Zealanders, giving insight into the changes of culture across the decades. Grace has a way of weaving stories across one another and building characters layer by layer that really hook you in.
