'Poorhara is a hilarious and heartbreaking debut with characters so stunningly well-realised they will walk into your dreams at night,' writes essa may ranapiri. 'It’s a hero's journey with no easy answers – just harsh, furious life with all the pain, the anger and the beauty we can barely hold in or hold together. Rahurahu is a genius.' - essa may ranapiri, author of ransack and echidna
