The Bone People by Keri Hulme

My rating: 4 of 5 stars I know a lot more about Maori culture than I did before I read this. I loved the mythical and magical aspects of the book, the imagery and the sheer unusualness of the writing style. Kerewin will probably stay with me for a long time to come, she's such a unique but (I thought) lovable character, though I have the feeling that she would say 'me? lovable?'. I'm so glad I joined this bookray, yes, it's not the most accessible book in the world, but it is rewarding if you stick with it. View all my reviews >>
