The audiobook is great for the voice. The physical book has a very helpful word glossary for those who don't know māori.

A book about the intersections of a modern world and how to navigate them: land v industry, indigenous v colonialism, spiritual v physical, love v hate.

Beautifully  written and sometimes painful to read. 

There were things near the end that went above my head though.
