Witi has a classic way of weaving a story with history, yet, with a modern feel; if that makes sense?

May I ask; are you able to read Te Reo Maori? Many of his books are written with a mix of Te Reo Maori (no translation in some)and English which has put some people off and I appreciate it's not for everyone.

A little unknown fact; Witi has a nephew Gary Christie Lewis who married Lady Davina Windsor, becoming the first Maori to marry into the British Royal Family. We get everywhere! LOL!

You'll be right, then, as many Te Reo Maori words will be familiar to you!

Hardly anyone knows about Witi's books. It was a project specifically about queer NZ.
