One night her solitude is disrupted by a visitor-a speechless, mercurial boy named Simon, who tries to steal from her and then repays her with his most precious possession. As Kerewin succumbs to Simon's feral charm, she also falls under the spell of his Maori foster father Joe, who rescued the boy from a shipwreck and now treats him with an unsettling mixture of tenderness and brutality. 0aMāori (New Zealand people)vFiction.9674697 0aCommitment (Psychology)vFiction.9674698 0aRacially mixed peoplevFiction.9674699 0aSocial isolationvFiction.9674700 0aWomen paintersvFiction.9674701 0aMute personsvFiction.9674702 0aNew ZealandvFiction.9674703 0aShipwrecksvFiction.9674704 0aWidowersvFiction.9674705 0aPsychological fiction.9674498 7aRomance fiction.2lcsh9674532  c17776d17776  001040708FICaWPRObWPROcMezd2024-07-05edonationl0oFIC HUL BonepFIC0037r2024-05-20 00:00:00yMONO
