Journal Entry 1 by wing6of8wing from Silver Spring, Maryland USA on Wednesday, December 1, 2010
"Winner of both a Booker Prize and a Pegasus Prize for Literature, The Bone People is a work of unfettered wordplay and mesmerizing emotional complexity." The story of a New Zealand woman, part Maori, part European, a speechless boy, and his Maori foster father -- "at once a mystery, a love story, and an ambitious exploration of the zone where Maori and European New Zealand meet, clash, and sometimes merge."

Picked up at a charity book sale, as it will be perfect for next year's 666 reading challenge. Will then send to akosikulot if she's still interested.

Was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book given the difficult subject matter. Definitely deserves al the accolades it has garnered. Would write longer review if not for technical difficulties.

I found this book to be a very special read; in the beginning I struggled with the language and the style of writing and almost gave in, but in time, when I got used to the style it became a rewarding experience, and I can recommend it to future readers. An interesting and sad book from a part of the world that I knew little about.

This looked like a really interesting read. Since LeishaCamden had already read it, it went home with me for now.
