caroparr 's review for:

The Bone People by Keri Hulme
3.0

Reading this in New Zealand helped me to appreciate the setting better than I would have at home - we even stayed in Okarito, where the author lives (and has a sign on her gate asking you not to come in). Not an easy or happy read, told from multiple points of view and often in a stream of consciousness style, this was difficult, but I'm glad I read it for the characters, setting and language. I must admit I have no interest in following her any further, though...
