The village and the Maori tribe are at a key crossroads in their history, and the grandfather chieftain is upset that the young girl isn’t the grandson whom he had hoped to groom to help lead the village and tribe into the future.
Summary in 4 sentences: This is short novelized version of an old Maori tale, transposed onto a Maori village in modern times (1980s), focussing on a young girl born as granddaughter to the Maori chief of that village. Why this book: While travelling in New Zealand, this book was recommended by a salesman at a bookstore and one of my NOLS colleagues with whom I was hiking.
