Publisher's Summary

On the night that Carla Reid plans on celebrating her wedding anniversary with her husband Kevin and their grown son Jack, their New Zealand farmstead has never felt more like home. But when Ben Toroa and another aspiring gang member brutally force their way into the house with robbery and more on their minds, the night and the rest of both their lives take a radically different direction.

As Carla struggles to come to terms with the aftermath and bereavement of different kinds and Ben faces the consequences in prison, their stories will be forever entwined.

Superb!

This was the first time reading anything by NZ author, Fiona Sussman, and now I’m going to suss out anything I can find by her! This is a beautifully told story of heartbreak and redemption and the evils of colonialism. The Mauri of New Zealand suffered as horribly as did our Indigenous Peoples here in Canada and it could make a person weep. But Fiona Sussman’s poetic telling of the loss and the hope of the Mauri is a beautiful thing.
The narration is superb and I also learned a LOT about NZ’s flora!
