It is a raw and powerful story in which everyone is a victim until the strength and vision of one woman transcends brutality and leads the way to a new life.
Alan Duff's "Once Were Warriors" would be a best fit for readers interested in exploring Maori culture, literature, or the challenges of life in New Zealand's poorest areas.
