About this listen

auē

  1. (verb) to cry, howl, groan, wail, bawl.
  2. (interjection) expression of astonishment or distress.

Taukiri was born into sorrow. Auē can be heard in the sound of the sea he loves and hates and in the music he draws out of the guitar that was his father’s. It spills out of the gang violence that killed his father and sent his mother into hiding and the shame he feels about abandoning his eight-year-old brother to a violent home.

But Taukiri’s brother, Ārama, is braver than he looks, and he has a friend, and his friend has a dog, and the three of them together might just be strong enough to turn back the tide of sadness.

This bestselling multiaward-winning novel is both raw and sublime, introducing a compelling new voice in New Zealand fiction.

Really good book, quite moving. Once were warriors meets hunt for wilder people. Narration does the book justice

Great book, well narrated

The characters are of generations of lost souls who are intertwined in a powerful story of families struggling in rural and urban New Zealand. The evil and violence that leaves scars on most of them is beautifully contrasted by the sweetest chatter of the kids. I loved it and felt the performance of the brothers was tremendous. It was full of sadness though.

Incredibly powerful and full of sorrow
