A short memoir whose main focus is unpacking a family story that was never told:that a farm in Taranaki on which the family' s generations-long comfortable fortunesrested had been directly taken from the people of Parikaha and given to anancestor, a member of the Armed Constabulary following the invasion of the villageduring the New Zealand Wars. Beautifully written, and intertwined with an examination of the authors' relationshipwith his father and of his family' s proud Catholicism, not only is this book afine piece of writing but its key focus is also highly pertinent: How Pakeha NewZealanders should wrestle with, and own, their colonial past.
