New Zealand's National Treasure,
By Dr Stuart Jeanne Bramhall "Dr Stuart Jeanne B... (New Plymouth, New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dogside Story (Talanoa: Contemporary Pacific Literature) (Paperback)
This is my favorite of Grace's novels - the first in which (I feel) her elegant writing style is fully developed. Grace writes in deceptively simple and ordinary language. However what she achieves (she admits by writing slowly and constantly reworking) is actually a rich tapestry interweaving story, deep Maori earth connectedness, myth and the public and inner aspect of characters that are so universal readers from any culture will recognize them. Although her story concerns a Maori intertribal dispute, she approaches character development from a sophisticated 21st century perspective - emphasizing both their human frailties and the psychological underpinnings that motivate them.
If you like Barbara Kingsolver and Carson McCullers, you will love Patria Grace. A real joy to read. by Dr Stuart Jeanne Bramhall, author of THE MOST REVOLUTIONARY ACT: MEMOIR OF AN AMERICAN REFUGEE
