El mar alrededor

The novel seamlessly intertwines Māori mythology with modern struggles, but I'm curious how this fusion influences the reader's connection to the characters and themes.

Their actions are often raw and complex, making me wonder if the novel was aiming to challenge our judgments or evoke empathy in unexpected ways.

The depth of Māori culture and New Zealand history adds a unique flavor—I'm interested in what motivated those specific choices and how they shape the narrative.
