Alan Duff
Once Were Warriors, is Alan Duff's harrowing vision of his country's indigenous people two hundred years after the English conquest. In prose that is both raw and compelling, it tells the story of Beth Heke, a Maori woman struggling to keep her family from falling apart, despite the squalor and violence of the housing projects in which they live. Conveying both the rich textures of Maori tradition and the wounds left by its absence, ,Once Were Warriors, is a masterpiece of unblinking realism, irresistible energy, and great sorrow.
