Purapurawhetu is a story with many threads. At its heart is the darkness of loss and grief. Woven around and throughout are other characters' experience of loss and dispossession. But it is ultimately a story of forgiveness and healing, and of humour - out of turmoil comes the ability to move forward. 'Purapurawhetu. When someone special dies, their spirit joins the others in a wild tango across the night sky.'
