Picked this up at the op shop for just $1. =) Winner of the 1985 Booker Mcconnell Prize.
From the back of the book:
'Set on the harsh South Island beaches of New Zealand, bound in Maori myth and entwined with Christian symbols, Miss Hulme's provocative novel summons power with words, as a conjuror's spell. She casts her magic on three fiercely unique characters, but reminds us that we, like them, are "nothing more than people", and that, in a sense, we are all cannibals, compelled to consume the gift of love with demands of perfection.'
