A wonderfully surprising, inventive and deeply moving riff on fact and fiction, history and imagination from one of New Zealand's finest and most memorable storytellers. There has never been a New Zealand novel quite like The Parihaka Woman. Richly imaginative and original, weaving together fact and fiction, it sets the remarkable story of Erenora against the historical background of the turbulent and compelling events that occurred in Parihaka during the 1870s and 1880s.

Wearing the colour red and having the patch with the emblem of the mighty bulldog on your back was what ex-Mongrel Mob leader Tuhoe 'Bruno' Isaac called being True Red. "Because all levels of society hated us we created a new society of hatred symbolised by the bulldog. Its ferocious habits were engraved on our hearts", Tuhoe says, "If you weren't a mobster you weren't worth knowing." He lived this way for 17 years. However, constantly living for the bash, beer, prison and the possibility of dying in a pool of blood eventually saw Tuhoe search for another way of doing life.

For more than a millennium, Polynesians have occupied the remotest islands in the Pacific Ocean, a vast triangle stretching from Hawaii to New Zealand to Easter Island. Until the arrival of European explorers they were the only people to have ever lived there. Both the most closely related and the most widely dispersed people in the world before the era of mass migration, Polynesians can trace their roots to a group of epic voyagers who ventured out into the unknown in one of the greatest adventures in human history.

Highly recommend!!!
After many years of trying to learn Māori, I discovered this audio book a few months ago and absolutely love it. This is the first time that it’s all making sense. I am usually a visual learner, so was worried about how well I would learn just by having the audio. I am not disappointed.
I am lucky as I visited my parents who had the book and gave it to me which provided a bit of extra practice, but its not needed.
If you want to learn Māori, this book would be a great start.

Awesome. This book has been amazing. I have had the physical copy too but that isn't necessary. It has well spaced exercises so you get to try and answer the questions. If a topic is difficult you can just go back and listen again until confident. You could learn your te reo Māori in the car on the way to work.
