When Darkness Stays: Hohepa Kereopa and a Tuhoe Oral History / Paul Moon. - Auckland : David Ling Publishing Limited , 2020. - 144 p. ; 240 x 165mm

Paperback / softback.

This extraordinary book - unsettling, harrowing, and ultimately redemptive - is based on the time the author spent with the Tūhoe tohunga, Hōhepa Kereopa. It plunges deep into a cultural landscape that has almost vanished, bringing to light insights that are enriching and sometimes shocking. The work climaxes with a staggering oral history that has never appeared in print until now, and which reveals one of the most tragic and distressing events in the country's colonial era.
