if i had a top ten of my favourite books, this would be quite near the top of it. keri hulme writes like you would think all of this stuff, and i have this great appreciation for writing and conveying things like they are or should be and not according to our grammatical rules. to me, this book is some kind of amazing journey. it's gut wrenching and soulful and it tells of all the hardness and bleakness of life and emotions while also filling you up on affirmingness of life. it won the booker prize in 1985 and by my reckoning it was much deserving of it.

RELEASE NOTES:

This book was caught at the Brisbane Life Line book sale at the Convention Centre yesterday Saturday 6th June 2009. Read and thoroughly enjoyed the book some years ago but did not have a copy so this one stays with me. Sorry! Will release something else instead.
