Description
This gentleman, RICHARD NAPAM has written a stunning story where the underlying truths are revealed only over the whole book. Very, very clever structure and an intellectual delight. The reader is captured from the first page; with the subtle cultural reveal extending throughout the entire book. Meet the family living deep in the Papua New Guinea highlands. Their journey as they live a traditional life, with conflicts and challenges, love and loss, new children, communities, and celebrations throughout a lifetime. The arrival of colonisation with its new teachings, new ways of living, contrasting values, and the new imagining of a future. Deeply informative and filled with culture, the reader will finish this book with a sense of wonder. And awe.
