Beschreibung:
Alan Duff, geboren 1950 in Rotorua, Neuseeland, ist ein neuseeländischer Schriftsteller. Er ist seit 1985 als freier Schriftsteller und Kolumnist für diverse Zeitungen tätig. Seine Kritiken an der Neuseeländischen Politik sind umstritten und bieten oft Grund für Diskussionen. Ein immer wieder von ihm aufgegriffenes Thema, sowohl in Romanform als auch in seinen Kolumnen, ist das heutige Leben der Urbevölkerung Neuseelands (Maori).
The third volume in the hard-hitting, best-selling Once Were Warriors trilogy.The millennium has changed but have the Hekes? Where are they now, Beth, Jake, and what of their other children? Son Abe who has rejected violence but violence finds him. Polly, as beautiful as her sister Grace, who committed suicide; is that a Heke running around with the wealthy polo-playing set and growing rich herself? And the gang leader, Apeman, who killed Tania, what's prison like, does it change a man, grow him or not? We meet another tragic female figure, Sharneeta. And Alistair Trambert, a middle-class white boy sunk into the same welfare dependency trap as the Maoris his class criticises. Meet Charlie Bennett, Beth's husband, a fine man, and yet . . . And yet there's Jake Heke, casting his long shadow over everyone. Has he really grown up?
