WIth its gripping and heartrending story of the interwoven lives of three very different people, Booker Prize-winning The Bone People is as vivid and evocative today as it was when it was first published. Weaving Maori and Pakeha storylines, starkly and upsettingly visiting themes of child abuse and violence, The Bone People nonetheless twines a thread of hope through all its pages. Brilliantly written, this complex narrative still divides readers. A true marmite read.
