The raw and powerful sequel to <i>Once Were Warriors</i>. It is six years since Jake's daughter Grace hanged herself. Jake's wife, Beth, has left him, his son Nig was killed in a gangland fight - his only consolations are drink and his memories. His daughter Polly is determined to escape the violence that is destroying the Maoris. But can Jake, too, redeem himself?

Once Were Warriors is Alan Duff's harrowing vision of his country's indigenous people two hundred years after the English conquest. In prose that is both raw and compelling, it tells the story of Beth Heke, a Maori woman struggling to keep her family from falling apart, despite the squalor and violence of the housing projects in which they live. Conveying both the rich textures of Maori tradition and the wounds left by its absence, Once Were Warriors is a masterpiece of unblinking realism, irresistible energy, and great sorrow.

Selten ist Romanen vergönnt, was mit Alan Duffs Warriors geschah: Er löste eine Flut von Debatten in Neuseeland aus und veränderte das Selbstverständnis des Landes. Mit größter Intensität erzählt Duff, selbst Maori, vom Leben im Maori-Ghetto von Pine Block. Von Jake, dem arbeitslosen Hünen, der sich auf nichts verlassen kann als auf seine Muskeln und seinen linken Haken. Von Beth, die, selbstbewusst und stark im Nehmen, versucht, ihre zerfallende Familie durchzubringen und zusammenzuhalten. Von den fünf Kindern, die selbst in den Strudel geraten. Duffs Roman ist mit Zorn und Anteilnahme geschrieben. Er verschweigt nichts, bricht Tabus und begegnet doch all seinen Figuren mit dem Verständnis, das ihnen im Leben verwehrt ist.
