    A very enjoyable sleuth with a woman investigating which was refreshing

  • The Changeover

    By Margaret Mahy
    5 stars

    Nice to read a book set in NZ even if a teenage novel. Margaret Mahy can certainly spin a tale!

  • Hello Beautiful

    By Ann Napolitano
    5 stars

    A story about family. Another book I could not put down and didn't want to end! Such deep, rich characters that capture you heart.

  • About Grace

    By Anthony Doerr
    5 stars

    I absolutely loved his book, 'All The Light We Cannot See' and this earlier once was completely different but equally as engaging. A very different premise that draws you in to find out what happened...

  • The Wager

    By David Grann
    5 stars

    About the Wager Mutiny in 1741. Historical novel with such a difference. Could not put it down!

  • Potiki

    By Patricia Grace
    5 stars

    Although written over 20 years ago this political novel is so relevant today. It weaves traditional stories with current realities. An enlightening and challenging read.

  • The Parihaka Woman

    By Witi Ihimaera
    5 stars

    This book is an historical weaving a fiction and non-fiction. I have never read anything quite like it. It is heart wrenching and a stark reminder of intergenerational trauma and racial inequity which is hugely appropriate given our current political climate.
