I got up to the Maori-author prompt in my #aussiesrule2019 challenge, but bounced off The Bone People. So on impulse I picked up White Lies, which is Ihimaera's rewriting of his earlier story Medicine Woman. It's a deeply striking story of a Maori healer. Multiple women are in the position of having to make terrible choices thanks to society's racism. Parts are awful, but there's a hopeful ending.
