Parihaka Woman

Against the historical background of the turbulent events that surrounded the village of Parihaka in the 1870s and 1880s, Witi Ihimaera tells the fictional story of Erenora. Parihaka is a place she calls home, a peaceful Maori settlement within a changing world. As that world envelops her in war, Erenora must find within herself all the strength, courage and ingenuity to protect all those whom she loves. Like a Shakespearean heroine, she must change herself before she can embark on her greatest challenge and save her exiled husband, Horitana.
