Description:

'Iluka', coastal paradise and home to a family living as nature intended ... but just how idyllic is this isolated patch of Aotearoa?
Narrated by both Hurley's granddaughter Ana and her mother Anahita, this is the story of a family in thrall to Hurley's utopian vision and what must happen to keep it safe. However, when an outsider visits their artist's retreat, the mystery of 'Iluka' begins to unravel.
Gripping, darkly atmospheric and a disturbing testimony to family loyalty.

Although very dark and a bit disturbing it was a gripping read, and those who finished it really enjoyed it. Made for good discussion, especially with Gloriavale and gangs both in the news again. Everyone has their version of 'normal', and if that's the only life or way of life a person has known then it becomes normal and is fiercely protected by them. |

Everybody was interested in the story. However, opinions varied over the writing and some of the group felt it would have benefited from a good editing... |
