Book of the Week: THE VALLEY OF UNLIKELY ACQUAINTANCES by Terri Te Tau

In this thoughtful science-fiction thriller emerging from te ao Māori, a research scientist and her friend struggle to hold their community together after the discovery of human remains in a local cave reveals a devastating history dating back to the 1800s that threatens to undermine their restoration of a Wairarapa forest. A very effective and enjoyable blend of time travel, environmentalism, local humour, whakapapa, rongoā, and immediacy.
