Beschreibung

A book that perfectly balances memoir and history, interweaving a cross-cultural love story with the larger history of the colonial encounter

'A highly unusual blend of personal memoir, travel writing and anthropology' Lynne Truss, Sunday Times
'This book stands out because of its sharp, fine writing ... strong and compulsive' New Statesman
_______________________________
Come On Shore and We Will Kill And Eat You All is a sensitive and vibrant portrayal of the cultural collision between Westerners and Maoris, from Abel Tasman's discovery of New Zealand in 1642 to the author's unlikely romance with a Maori man.

An intimate account of two centuries of friction and fascination, this intriguing and unpredictable book weaves a path through time and around the world in a rich exploration of the past and the future that it leads to.
