Pounamu Pounamu by Witi Ihimaera
5.0

A lovely anthology of short stories depicting Maori culture. I loved seeing the different points of view and the range of personalities. The Whale and The Child were very well executed. Yet Tangi and A Game of Cards became two of my favorite short stories of all-time. Tangi is the single-handed best use of flashbacks and dual narratives I've ever seen in literature.
