Dogside Story

There is conflict in the whanau. The young man, Te Rua, holds a 'secret for life, the one to die with'. But he realises that if he is to acknowledge and claim his daughter, the secret will have to be told. 'The Sisters' are threatening to drag the whanau through the courts. But why? What is really going on? This rich and dramatic novel, threaded with humour, by one of New Zealand's finest writers presents a powerful picture of Maori in modern times.
