Tangaroa's Godchild by Olaf Ruhen is a novel set in the Pacific Islands. The story follows the journey of a young man named Kiri, who is the adopted son of a Maori chief. Kiri is chosen by the sea god Tangaroa to be his godchild, which brings him great honor but also great responsibility. Kiri must navigate the complex political and cultural landscape of the islands, while also dealing with the challenges that come with being a godchild. Along the way, Kiri falls in love with a young woman named Tama, who is also caught up in the political turmoil of the islands. Together, they must find a way to protect their people and their way of life, while also honoring the traditions and beliefs of their ancestors. Tangaroa's Godchild is a rich and engaging novel that explores themes of identity, culture, and the power of the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
