*Bone People -Wonderful pages crisp clean -Faded spine sun/ interior-book clean unmarked bright glossy red cover-light scuffing cover-edition printed 1985 cover painting by Robert Jannke - design by Keri Hulme, Damer Farrel & John Burroughs – typeset by Saba graphics Ltd. Christchurch-Australia – printed bound Singapore/Singapore national printers-Integrating both Maori myth and New Zealand reality, The Bone People became the most successful novel in New Zealand publishing history when it appeared in 1984. Set on the South Island beaches of New Zealand, a harsh environment, the novel chronicles the complicated relationships between three emotional outcasts of mixed European & Maori heritage. Kerewin Holmes is a painter & a loner, convinced"to care for anything is to invite disaster." Her isolation is disrupted one day when a six-year-old mute boy, Simon, breaks into her house. The sole survivor of a mysterious shipwreck, Simon has been adopted by a widower Maori factory worker, Joe Gillayley- both tender & horribly brutal toward the boy. Through shifting points of view, the novel reveals each character's thoughts and feelings as they struggle with the desire to connect and the fear of attachment.
