About the event
Unity Books Wellington is the proud bookseller at the launch of Talia Marshall's debut book Whaea Blue, published by Te Herenga Waka University Press.
This event is held at Meow, 9 Edward Street, Wellington.
Tempestuous and haunting, Whaea Blue is a tribute to collective memory, the elasticity of self, and the women we travel through. It is a karanga to and from the abyss. It is a journey to peace.
‘Marshall’s whirlwind prose effortlessly slams the reader with neck-snapping speed from laughter to sorrow to recognition to disbelief and then back again. An uncommonly good debut by an author who is as original as she is undeniable.’ —Victor Rodger
