But beyond the reach of its sound, on another shore, a community is working over the course of decades to build a new life.  Kura lands in the footsteps of his father, whose twenty-year estrangement has come to a head. Katerina starts planning for a future, but must bend to the whim of another. Ana is received into a sacred sisterhood. And an Island Mama sets out the rules for love.  Beats of the Pa‘u is a collection of stories about first- and second-generation Cook Islands New Zealanders living in 1950s to modern-day New Zealand. Powerful, poignant and gently funny, Beats portrays life lived uneasily in the tempo of a different place, by characters who are woven together through community, family and home.","brand":"Te Herenga Waka University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516064063831,"sku":"9781776920037","price":16.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/beats-of-the-pau-9781776920037","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
