Book Overview

In this new novel acclaimed Maori novelist Patricia Grace visits the often terrifying and complex world faced by men of the Maori Battalion in Italy during World War II.

Tu is proud of his name--the Maori god of war. But for the returned soldier there's a shadow over his own war experience in Italy. Three brothers went to war, but only one returned--Tu is the sole survivor.

Beautifully written

I'm not sure how this novel will read to people outside New Zealand - the idiom is so true, so unlike the writing of anywhere else. I was blown away by the way Ms Grace was able to get inside the heads of these Maori boys from over 50 years ago, and to write so I could feel as if I was part of their experiences too. If you appreciate books by Sebastian Faulks, then take a look at this one. You won't be disappointed.
