This novel tells the story of Hohepa Te Umuroa, a New Zealand Maori, who was buried on Maria Island Tasmania. In the course of the narration we meet Ismay Glossop and her husband Gower McKissock and how their lives connect. The story centres around a piece of New Zealand history seldom referred to. The tale is both interesting and entertaining. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
The little-known fact that Maori prisoners served as convicts in 1840s Tasmania provides the inspiration for this engrossing, sweeping new novel by Witi Ihimaera. Hohepa Te Umuroa is with Te Rauparaha at the Wairau killings in the 1840s, and at Boulcotts Farm in the Hutt Valley when white settlers lose their lives. Convicted of insurrection, he and four companions are transported to the convict town of Hobart to serve their sentences. Ismay Glossop and her doctor husband Gower McKissock have also come to Tasmania, via Nelson, New Zealand. On Maria's Island near Hobart, their lives intersect with the five Maori, with unexpected consequences. Witi Ihimaera returns from rewriting his early books with this brand-new novel, a compelling historical drama that places one of New Zealand's master storytellers at the height of his powers.
