  • "Frank portrayal of Maori life in New Zealand. A powerful story in which everyone is a victim until the strength and vision of one woman transcends brutality and leads the way to a new alternative. Suggested audience: secondary, general."
  • "Once Were Warriors is Alan Duff's harrowing vision of his country's indigenous people two hundred years after the English conquest. In prose that is both raw and compelling, it tells the story of Beth Heke, a Maori woman struggling to keep her family from falling apart, despite the squalor and violence of the housing projects in which they live. Conveying both the rich textures of Maori tradition and the wounds left by its absence, Once Were Warriors is a masterpiece of unblinking realism, irresistible energy, and great sorrow."
