👍Worth readingI liked the book, though to me it seemed a little bit too long and sometimes even boring. It took me almost 2 months to finish it which for me is far too long. The story is good and decent and it was interesting to take a look at the life of a small town in New Zealand in the times of the Gold rush.
Also, there were some unanswered questions left for me in the end. I guess I could find the answers if I'd look more closely at the text, but after 2 months of reading, I was not particularly eager to do that.
Quotes

Beyond it, Tauwhare knew, lay the deep waterways of the southern fjords, where the sun set early behind the sudden peaks, so that the water took on the blackened look of tarnished silver, and the shadows pooled like oil. Tauwhare had never seen Piopiotahi, but he had heard tell of it, and he loved it because it was Te Tai Poutini land. - Анастасияhas quoted10 years ago
