Tamihana is the leader of the great Mahana family of shearers and sportsmen and women. Rupeni Poata is his
arch enemy. The two families clash constantly, in sport, in cultural contests and, finally, in the Golden Fleece competition to find the greatest shearing gang in New Zealand. Caught in the middle of this struggle is the teenager Simeon, grandson of the patriarch and of his grandmother Ramona, struggling with his own feelings and loyalties as the battles rage on many levels. This award-winning novel (first published in 1998) is being reissued to tie in with the release of Mahana, the stunning film adaptation of the novel.
