Kerewin Holmes lives alone in a tower by the New Zealand Sea. Part Maori, part European, she is a writer, a painter and something of a hermit. One day Simon, a mute, bedraggled, silver-haired boy, enters her tower and her life. Soon Kerewin becomes tied, by bonds of love, and of brutality, to Simon and his Maori father, Joe.
The Los Angeles Times said: "A novel that is mysterious and violent, gentle and unsettling, compassionate and honest."
This is a good book, but it is not an easy read -- there are parts that are fascinating, parts that are disturbing. . .
