This book is a real page turner: exciting, adventurous, and very romantic--not just an intimate look at the ways of the tribes of early New Zealanders, and what happens when the castaway (an Emglishman) and the daughter of a tribal chief, off on an adventure for two. Slowly, these two very different people learn to communicate and gain each other's respect for what they can teach each other. It's also a wonderful love story.
If you enjoy reading abou the hero using his wits to win a battle against a raiding party from another tribe, it's there. If you are interested in very early New Zealanders' daily habits and the clever tricks they use to hunt and avoid danger, you have those too. But the constant thread running through the rich and colorful tapestry of this well-researched historical novel, is the love between the castaway and the daughter of a tribal chief,.and a new people: who come from the best of the English "hunk" and the beautiful princess. Thus begins the story of how New Zealand's modern population got its start...all because an unhappy English sailor is able to escape from his ship when it is moored close enough to shore. And while he is lying, spent, on the wet sand, trying to recover from a near drowning, a lovely and exotic girl happens along. This is NOT your typical "boy meets girl!"
