Come On Shore and We Will Kill And Eat You All is a sensitive and vibrant portrayal of the cultural collision between Westerners and Maori, from Abel Tasman's discovery of New Zealand in 1642 to the author's unlikely romance with a Maori man.
An intimate account of two centuries of friction and fascination, this intriguing and unpredictable book weaves a path through time and around the world in a rich exploration of the past and the future that it leads to.
Bold, absorbing and utterly original, this book will take its place on the shelf next to Bruce Chatwin (Songlines), Bill Bryson (Down Under) and Doris Pilkington (The Rabbit-Proof Fence). Occupies the same territory as Jane Campion's film The Piano and Rose Tremain's novel The Colour.
