tessaays 's review for:
The Bone People
by Keri Hulme
Breathtaking. This book/Keri Hulme is a gift and every New Zealander should read it (also, everyone else should read it). I couldn’t put it down - the characters are so beautiful, the content so challenging, and the sense of place and space so spectacular you feel like you are right there. I did feel torn about the neat ending - as others have pointed out, it jars a little with the rest of the book, which is harshly realistic. I’d like to think of it as Hulme’s knowingly optimistic, wishful, wistful ode to the way things should be and the way stories should end.
