It draws heavily on the diaries she kept from the age of twelve, which lead her to some surprising conclusions about memory and truth. Ewing struggled with what would now be diagnosed as anxiety; she had a difficult relationship with her brilliant but frustrated and angry mother; and her decision to somehow learn te reo Maori drew her into a world to which few Pakeha had access. A love affair with a young Maori man destined for greatness was complicated by society's unease about such relationships, and changed them both. Evocative, candid, brave, bright and darting, this entrancing book takes us to a long-ago New Zealand and to enduring truths about love.--$cSource other than Library of Congress. 606 $aActresses$zNew Zealand$vBiography 606 $aMa?ori (New Zealand people) 607 $aNew Zealand$xSocial life and customs$y20th century 615 0$aActresses 615 0$aMa?ori (New Zealand people) 676 $a920.093 700 $aEwing$b Barbara$01723911 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814455903321 996 $aOne minute crying time$94125548 997 $aUNINA
