Description
This memoir by Barbara Ewing offers a vivid account of her tumultuous childhood and adolescence in 1950s and early 1960s New Zealand, drawing heavily from her diaries kept since the age of twelve.
Ewing's story is marked by struggles with anxiety, a difficult relationship with her mother, and her decision to learn te reo Māori, which drew her into a world few Pākehā had access to. A love affair with a young Māori man was complicated by societal unease, leading to both personal growth and change.
This entrancing book takes readers on a journey through a long-ago New Zealand, revealing enduring truths about love and identity.
