Baby No-eyes

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Tawera and his sister are inseparable, in a relationship that is impossible for others to share. In fact, his whole whanau is bonded by secrets, a genealogy stitched together by shame, joy, love, and sometimes grief.

Patricia Grace's major new novel, Baby No-eyes, merges recent headlines with stories of a heartfelt family history. It is an account of the mysteries that operate at many levels between generations, where the present is the pivot, the centre of the spiral, looking outward to the past and future that define it.

There's a way the older people have of telling a story, a way where the beginning is not the beginning, the end is not the end...
