Description

On this involving, compassionate memoir, Christina Thompson tells the story of her romance and eventual marriage to a Maori man, interspersing it with a narrative history of the cultural collision between Westerners and the Maoris of New Zealand. In spite of their significant differences, Thompson and her husband, Seven, share a equivalent sense of adventure and a willingness to depart from the customs in their families and forge a life together on their very own. Thompson explores cultural displacement during the ages and the fascinating history of Europeans within the South Pacific, beginning with Abel Tasman’s discovery of New Zealand in 1642. Yet at its core, that is the story of two individuals who meet, fall in love, and are eternally changed.
