Description of this Book
Whenua brings to life the largely untold story of the dark struggle for land in nineteenth century Ireland and New Zealand. Maharangi, grandson of a dispossessed chief, is determined to have land. His quest takes him south to Taranaki, the ancestral lands of his mother. There he joins in the bitter struggle to survive as his people's lands are confiscated. Ryan Kavanagh, son of a dispossessed tenant farmer in Ireland, migrates to New Zealand determined to have land with no qualms about killing to get what he wants. Chamberlain has created a page turner of literary merit with unique characters frustrated by forces beyond their control.
