About the story

In the void of time, Kurangaituku, the bird-woman, tells the story of her extraordinary life — the birds who first sang her into being, the arrival of the Song Makers and the change they brought to her world, her life with the young man Hatupatu, and her death.

But death does not end a creature of imagination like Kurangaituku. In the underworlds of Rarohenga, she continues to live in the many stories she collects as she pursues what eluded her in life. This is a story of love — but is this love something that creates or destroys?
