Book Description
"She's six feet tall and handles a motorbike like a professional. But Kate has insecurities that match her height and she ignores the past by pushing her fingers firmly into her ears. Who is her mother and why did she abandon her? What became of her grandmother who travelled up the Whanganui River on a paddle steamer to an ill-fated valley, beyond the Bridge to Nowhere? And who was the man she lived with in such an unorthodox way? And what should Kate do about her own two-pointed love triangle? Somewhere out there are the answers; out where only her motorbike can take her. THE STRENGTH OF EGGSHELLS is an emotional journey that explores the lives of strong rural New Zealanders, set against the fragile isolation of a farm upbringing, two world wars and a landscape that is inevitably slipping beyond reach"--Amazon site.

The Bone People

Author: Keri Hulme
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 9780807130728
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 476

Book Description
Integrating both Maori myth and New Zealand reality, The Bone People became the most successful novel in New Zealand publishing history when it appeared in 1984. Set on the South Island beaches of New Zealand, a harsh environment, the novel chronicles the complicated relationships between three emotional outcasts of mixed European and Maori heritage. Kerewin Holmes is a painter and a loner, convinced that "to care for anything is to invite disaster." Her isolation is disrupted one day when a six-year-old mute boy, Simon, breaks into her house. The sole survivor of a mysterious shipwreck, Simon has been adopted by a widower Maori factory worker, Joe Gillayley, who is both tender and horribly brutal toward the boy. Through shifting points of view, the novel reveals each character's thoughts and feelings as they struggle with the desire to connect and the fear of attachment. Compared to the works of James Joyce in its use of indigenous language and portrayal of consciousness, The Bone People captures the soul of New Zealand. After twenty years, it continues to astonish and enrich readers around the world.
