Industry Reviews

In the tradition of Toni Morrison's Beloved, translated to a Maori context, this is a story from beyond the grave: a tale of a baby which died before birth in a car crash - Baby No-eyes. The baby's corpse, mislaid at the hospital and then found in a waste bin, has no eyes when it is returned to the family. Found later, they are wrapped around the stomach for burial. When Baby's mother gives birth to a son, he can instantly see his sister's ghost. In fact, he becomes her eyes and introduces her to the world. This is an intriguing, original and lyrically written novel which explores themes of emotional pain and historical consequences. (Kirkus UK)
