Tangi - Witi Ihimaera

NZ$29.00

A poetic, deeply moving account of death, grief, and the ultimate affirmation of life. It follows Tama, a young Māori man in his early 20s who leaves his modern, city life in Wellington after the sudden death of his father.

Tama journeys back to his rural ancestral home in Waituhi (near Gisborne) to participate in the three-day tangihanga . As the eldest son, Tama faces an intense internal conflict between the individual freedoms of his contemporary life and his cultural obligations to take over the family farm and care for his whānau.
