Come On Shore and We Will Kill and Eat You All: A New Zealand Story

"A multilayered, highly informative and insightful book that blends memoir, historical and travel narrative…vivid and meticulously researched."―San Francisco Chronicle

In this involving, compassionate memoir, Christina Thompson tells the story of her romance and eventual marriage to a Maori man, interspersing it with a narrative history of the cultural collision between Westerners and the Maoris of New Zealand.
