Description Inspired by the novel Tu by Patricia Grace. Weaving together text and image, Tu is an epic tale set against 1940s Wellington, the battlefields of Monte Cassino and post-war Te Tairawhiti on the North Island's East Coast. After years of self-imposed exile, old Tu is found and visited by his bother's children. In search of answers, their presence triggers an unstoppable wave of memories that envelops Tu and forces him to confront and embrace the ghosts of his past.
