Mutuwhenua (1995)

Second-Hand

Excellent condition

This is the story of Ripeka, who leaves her extended family and its traditional lifestyle to marry Graeme, a Pakeha schoolteacher.

In the strange world of the city, Ripeka discovers that she cannot make the break with her whanau and that the old ways are too strong.

Patricia Grace s first novel is a powerful, moving story of contrasts – between light and darkness, old and new, young and old, and Maori and Pakeha.
