annarella 's review for:

Auē by Becky Manawatu
5.0

This wasn't an easy read as part of this book are quite brutal an other are quite disturbing. But it was worth as the author is a great storyteller and this is a story heartbreaking and poignant, a punch in the gut that i loved as I loved the possibility of hope and redemption.
There's not a lot of story about Maori and this is a great story that remained with me.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
