Tahuri : A Limited Edition

This Limited Edition is a revised and expanded version of Tahuri, which was published by New Woman's Press in 1989. It includes one new story, and three pieces that were published elsewhere.

Ngahuia te Awekotuku was born and raised in the thermal village of Ohinemutu, Rotorua, where most of these stories take place.

Simple, clear, colloquial and unique the Tahuri stories capture the thrill and romance of the young adolescent girl watching and adoring older girls and women, what its like to grow up Māori, lesbian, intelligent in the 50s, effectively told, vivid, sensuous and at times shocking.
Aorewa McLeod, Sunday Star, March 1990.
