Once Were Warriors by Alan Duff is a powerful, unflinching novel that explores the lives of an urban Māori family navigating poverty, violence, and cultural disconnection in Aotearoa New Zealand.
This edition is a paperback in Good condition with minor edge wear and slight yellowing consistent with age. A landmark work of New Zealand fiction and the basis for the internationally acclaimed film of the same name.
A must-read for those interested in contemporary Māori literature, social realism, and the raw emotional landscape of urban New Zealand in the 1990s.
