Matutu

More about the book

Whangapouri Bay hides many secrets, yet is a source of matutu, the Maori word for healing. When an accident crushes Emily Merivale's hand, ending her career as a concert violinist, she retreats to this isolated Bay of Sorrows. By chance she encounters Bill Thackerey, an author who fears his creative passion is lost. Each recognizing a fellow sufferer, they support one another's attempts to find wholeness.
