This book wasn't for me. A thriller set in the NZ bush where terrible things keep happen over and over because no one will communicate. Nothing notable happens until the last quarter of the book and then the author tries to hide the predictable ending by throwing in a bunch of twists.
A book about aging and grief. I found it hard to relate to the 40 year old characters who acted like teenagers.
A compassionate look at aging and the life you've led before it.
An awesome collection from some of NZ's finest. Great for teaching resources or just to enjoy!
A fascinating look at one of the world's deadliest diseases. But an even more important look at history, racism and worldwide health care.
