The Bone People: A Novel by Keri Hulme
A powerful and visionary novel about three outcasts from mixed European and Maori heritage, living in an unconventional household. Kerewin Holmes, a woman estranged from her family and art, is disrupted by the arrival of Simon, a speechless boy with a mercurial charm.
This mesmerizing love story explores the complex relationships between Kerewin, Simon, and his Maori foster father Joe, who rescued him from a shipwreck. A work of unfettered wordplay and emotional complexity, The Bone People is a thought-provoking exploration of indigenous and European New Zealand.
