THE BONE PEOPLE - KERI HULME TASCHENBUCH

Winner of the Booker Prize in 1985  The Bone People is the story of Kerewin  a despairing
part-Maori artist who is convinced that her solitary life is the only way to face the world.
Her cocoon is rudely blown away by the sudden arrival during a rainstorm of Simon  a mute
six-year-old whose past seems to hold some terrible trauma. In his wake comes his foster-father
Joe  a Maori factory worker with a nasty temper. The narrative unravels to reveal the truths
that lie behind these three characters  and in so doing displays itself as a huge  ambitious
work that tackles the clash between Maori and European characters in beautiful prose of a
heartrending poignancy. 'In this novel  New Zealand's people  its heritage and landscape are
conjured up with uncanny poetry and perceptiveness' Sunday Times
