Keri Hulme The Bone People The Bone People is a love story. It begins when an autistic six-year-old, wanders from the beach and into the home and life of a despairing artist. Kerwin has given up everything but drinking, thinking and fishing, but the arrival of the boy Simon, and later on, of his Maori foster-father Joe, complicates everything. Set on the harsh beaches of NZ's South Island, it is bound in Maori myth and Christian symbolism. Winner of the Booker Prize A near fine copy of a first edition paperback original.
