  I read this great novel whilst on holiday travelling in New Zealand and really enjoyed it. It gave a real insight into the feeling of New Zealand from it's amazing scenery to the culture and life in a small, largely Maori town that was in decline. The main character and the two other key characters had all suffered very significant losses at different stages in their lives and this was explored with great sensitivity. More than anything this was a story involving many emotions, including grief, guilt, anger but most of all love and hope. As usual, when I read a book I've really enjoyed there was a sadness when I had finished it and I wanted to know what might have happened to the characters over the next few years. Although tackling difficult issues this is essentially an uplifting book and I would highly recommend it.

  Small town story with very topical themes. Great read.
