Heart Warrior, Manawa Toa
(Cathie Dunsford)
Manawa Toa, My strength is not that of the individual but that of the multitudes.
Ehara taku Toa I te toa takitahi engari te toa takitini. Cowrie boards a ship
bound for Moruroa atoll during the French nuclear tests. She is in for a rough
ride. She is joined by Sahara, a young peace activist from England and Marie-Louise, a french
nuclear physicist. But can they be trusted? Can anyone be trusted?
The reader can feel the rock of the sea, taste the food, and fear the
attacks on the peace flotilla.
A luscious feast of language and imagery, a haka, a novel laced with
Maori proverbs, He korero taua ki wharaurangi, he korero ta matau ki Otuawhaki,
The talk is of war at Wharaurangi, but at Otuawhaki, they speak of making
fishhooks.
To all my mana wahine friends: aroha mai, aroha atu.
