Potiki

In a small coastal community threatened by developers it is a time of fear and confusion - and growing anger ... Patricia Grace's bestselling novel Potiki is a work of spellbinding power in which the myths of older times are woven into the political world of today. This compelling novel will resonate for people everywhere who find their livelihood threatened by Dollarmen - property speculators advocating golf courses, high rises, shopping malls, and tourist attractions. In Potiki, one community's response to attacks on their ancestral values and symbols provides moving affirmation of the relationship between land and the people who live on it.
