Fishing For Maui by Isa Pearl Ritchie - Book Tour
Fishing
for Māui
A novel about food, whānau, and mental
illness.
Valerie reads George Eliot to get to sleep
– just to take her mind off worries over her patients, her children, their
father and the next family dinner. Elena is so obsessed with health,
traditional food, her pregnancy and her blog she doesn’t notice that her
partner, Malcolm the ethicist, is getting himself into a moral dilemma of his
own making. Evie wants to save the world one chicken at a time. Meanwhile her
boyfriend, Michael is on a quest to reconnect with his Māori heritage and
discover his own identity. Rosa is eight years old and lost in her own fantasy
world, but she’s the only one who can tell something’s not right. Crisis has
the power to bring this family together, but will it be too late?
"An accomplished story of a family in
crisis - Ritchie's great skill is her ability to conjure the inner lives if her
characters. Fishing For Maui is a compassionate meditation on what it means to
be well". - Sarah Jane Barnett
