Once Were Warriors Paperback - 1995
by Alan Duff
Already a smash motion picture from Fine Line Features in New Zealand, this raw and deeply affecting story has also garnered major literary awards abroad. A contemporary story about an urban family in New Zealand, the book combines the action and mood of Blade Runner with the triumph of A Raisin in the Sun.
From the jacket flap
Once Were Warriors is Alan Duff's harrowing vision of his country's indigenous people two hundred years after the English conquest. In prose that is both raw and compelling, it tells the story of Beth Heke, a Maori woman struggling to keep her family from falling apart, despite the squalor and violence of the housing projects in which they live. Conveying both the rich textures of Maori tradition and the wounds left by its absence, Once Were Warriors is a masterpiece of unblinking realism, irresistible energy, and great sorrow.
