£175.00
A first edition, first printing published by Hodder and Stoughton and Spiral in 1985. A good book with wear and light stains to the boards. One name to the head of the front endpaper.

In 1984, the novel won the New Zealand Book Award for Fiction. The following year it won the Pegasus Prize for Literature, was earmarked for Māori fiction, and subsequently became the first New Zealand novel and first debut novel to win the Booker Prize.
