Expanded my view on a little known culture

Just finished 'Journey Home' - the second time that I have read it in the last 12 months. It is fresh, vibrant and beautiful! It gives a totally different insight into Maori and Hawaiian culture. I understand that it is 'just' a novel, but it didn't feel like that - it was direct communication from the main character - Cowrie. The main push of the book is recognition of and acceptance of racial differences - that moved me beyong comfort. The strong lesbian content may be offensive to some - I am hetero, and I simply found it meaningful to the book and erotic in itself. The characters are real, tangible and I would love to meet them! :-)))
