Ancestry

Albert Wendt has created a complex and unique fictional world inhabited by one of the richest assortments of characters in our literature. In this, his latest collection of short stories, he continues to explore the nature of love, family and culture through the lives of people caught between the sometimes violent and destructive realities of modern contemporary life, and the ancestral ties of their heritage. Set in the Pacific, including Hawai'i, Aotearoa/New Zealand and Samoa, the stories are told with insight, wisdom, humour and compassion.
