bobbo49 's review for:
The Bone People
by Keri Hulme
By and about a Maori woman, centered on the character's struggle to find peace with herself and the mute orphan boy and his rough and tender foster father who come into her life, the book is a complex portrait of the intersection of modern and traditional New Zealand life. Maori mysticism weaves through the lives of the central players, presenting a lyrical passage into that deeper other world as the woman, child and man seek meaning for themselves, separately and together. Beautiful.
