Description 'An uplifting love song to the wāhine toa of the East Coast who inhabit Witi Ihimaera’s celebrated writing. Four wāhine take their journeys through history and mythology, sharing tears, jokes and waiata along the way. But these are no ordinary women – they’re matriarchs of New Zealand fiction, finally stepping out from the shadows.'
