In a small coastal community threatened by developers who would ravage their lands it is a time of fear and confusion and growing anger. The prophet child Tokowaru-i-te-Marama shares his people's struggles against bulldozers and
fast money talk. When dramatic events menace the marae, his grief threatens to burst beyond the confines of his twisted body. His all-seeing eye looks forward to a strange and terrible new dawn. Patricia Grace's second novel is a work of spellbinding power in which the myths of older times are inextricably woven into the political realities of today.
