About the event
Mrittika and Eden will be hosting our monthly book club to discuss some of the excellent recently released books.
In October we will be discussing 'One Day a Taniwha' by Tihema Baker
About the book: As the pressure of fatherhood tightens its grip, sleepless nights and rising tensions begin to erode Hepa's sense of control. When the line between fear and reality begins to blur, can he be trusted with his own son?
Hepa hasn't slept properly in four months. His newborn son, Wi, cries through the night. The bills keep coming. The pressure to hold everything together is closing in.
Hepa tells himself to harden up. Be the pillar his family needs.
The only place he feels in control is in his dreams. Since childhood he's been able to shape them, to bend the dream world to his will.
Until something begins watching back.
