| Description |
The Pohutukawa Tree is set in 1950s New Zealand, a country on the cusp of change, and explores a proud Maori matriarch's inability to cope with that change. Shamed by her children's indiscretions, her family's betrayal and her Pakeha neighbour's cloy ing attentions, she puts her faith too fervently in her new Christian God with devastat ing consequences. |
