White Lies | Witi Ihimaera

1 post | 2 read | 1 to read

A medicine woman a giver of life is asked to hide a secret that may protect a position in society, but could have fatal consequences. When she is approached by the servant of a wealthy woman, three very different women become players in a head-on clash of beliefs, deception and ultimate salvation. This compelling story tackles moral dilemmas, exploring the nature of identity, societal attitudes to the roles of women and the tension between Western and traditional Maori medicine.

White Lies | Witi Ihimaera

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.
