This is a fabulous collection of stories from a young and new Maori woman writer. One critic has described this collection: Alice Tawhai is a special, giftedf writer, and this collection is a treat. It displays a freshness of perception that is uniquely the writer's own, but has echoes of other writers: think Patricia Grace for brevity and keen observation, Keri Hulme for beauty and heartache both, Janet Frame for startling imagery that opens up new ways of seeing. Alice Tawhai finds cosmopolitan material for her stories from the length and breadth of New Zealand, from the Hokianga to Bluff, from small towns to the cities. Her works are gem-like observations of lives on the edge, and her characters are rich and varied: bikies, UFO freaks, circus workers, tattoo artists, mail-order brides'and Maori of all ages, from many walks of life.
Alice Tawhai (Tainui and Nga Puhi descent) Alice Tawhai is a pen name. Due to her personal circumstances she wishes to remain anonymous and Huia has agreed to respect this. She has first-hand experience of life in the fast lane, life in the small-town, life as a mother and a life on the run. She describes herself as writing in colours.
