Description
Taukiri was born into sorrow. The sound of the sea, which he loves and hates, is a constant reminder of his past. His music, drawn from the guitar his father left behind, is a way to express the emotions he cannot verbalise. The violence that took his father's life and sent his mother into hiding still haunts him, as does the shame of abandoning his brother to a violent home. But his brother, Ārama, is braver than he appears, and with the help of his friend and their loyal dog, the three of them may be strong enough to overcome their sorrow. This powerful novel introduces a compelling new voice in New Zealand fiction. It is a raw and sublime exploration of the human experience, tackling themes of family, trauma, and resilience. With its unique blend of music, culture, and gritty realism, it is a story that will resonate with readers. Becky Manawatu's debut novel has already made a significant impact, winning several prestigious awards. This is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it, its themes and characters lingering in your mind.
