A Story of Loss & Love. Rai, a 16 year old boy with a love of motorcycles, struggles with a legacy of silence and hidden truths within his family. He learns that the man he believed to be his father is actually his uncle. Rai sets out to find his dad and the only information he has to go on is the envelope .in which the last leaf was sent to him. In the last chapter the threads from two stories come together, one in a shocking climax, the other giving some promise of steps finally retraced. This novel follows the lives of two half brothers who battle their way from the WWII Trinity Project at Los Alamos to Nagasaki; from Vietnam to an asylum outside Auckland. One of our readers has described it as `One hell-of-a story -just so good!'.
James George (Nga Puhi) Hummingbird, James's second novel, was chosen as Whitcoulls Bookshop's Book of the Month in May 2003. This level of reader acclaim continued with the novel being shortlisted in 2004 for the Montana Book Awards and later that year shortlisted in the prestigious Tasmanian Government Pacific Fiction Prize. James attended the Awards in Tasmania. In the last month James has been invited by the French Government to tour France, and attend a number of literary events. This is as a result of the success of his novel Hummingbird and the fact that it is being considered for translation into French.
