Description:
|
One KÄpiti neighbourhood, three different women working hard to keep their heads above water. There is Keri, a MÄori single mum of Walty and Wairere, Janet, an older PÄkeha woman with staunch opinions and Sera, a climate refugee along with her husband and daughter. The unexpected return of Janet’s troubled son Conor sparks a strong sense of foreboding into this quiet locale… With its reverential depiction of place, its believable characters and its strong female perspective, this is a convincing and compelling story of racism, radicalisation and the redeeming nature of community.
