Whaea Blue

About this book

A haunting journey through memory, family, and M?ori identity. Talia Marshall's Whaea Blue weaves a tapestry of personal experiences across Aotearoa, encountering her father, grappling with loss, and making unlikely connections. From cocktail hour with Ans Westra to navigating complex relationships, Marshall's story explores the threads of whakapapa and the search for belonging.With lyrical prose and unflinching honesty, this memoir delves into the heart of what it means to be M?ori in a post-colonial world. It's a story for readers seeking indigenous voices, New Zealand literature, and a deeper understanding of cultural identity. Discover a journey of resilience, healing, and the enduring power of connection.
