Description
The Bone People by Keri Hulme A poignant and ambitious novel about the clash between two cultures, set against the backdrop of New Zealand's landscape and heritage. Kerewin, a troubled artist, finds her solitary life disrupted by the arrival of a mute six-year-old and his foster-father, a Maori factory worker with a troubled past. As the narrative unfolds, the secrets and traumas of these three characters are revealed, exposing the complexities of their relationships and the tensions between their cultures. With beautiful prose and a deep understanding of the human condition, Keri Hulme tackles the challenges of identity, community, and belonging in a heart-wrenching and thought-provoking way. This is a powerful and moving novel that explores the intricate web of relationships and the search for belonging in a world of contrasts.
