Title: Valley Of Unlikely Acquaintances
Author: TE TAU TERRI
A remarkable debut that follows one close-knit Maori community and the Wairarapa forest they are fighting to restore.
Tiria is a revolutionary scientist—or so she likes to think. Her work at the whanau-led Kopuaranga Research Centre has transformed the valley’s reforestation efforts. But not everyone is convinced that genetically edited cats belong in the ngahere. While Tiria juggles disciplinary hearings and romantic field trips, her best friend Lydia is left trying to hold the hapori together.
When human remains are found in a nearby cave, the valley is drawn into speculation. What begins as an isolated discovery soon reveals unsettling ties to the 1800s, when the region’s ecological devastation first began. As rumours spread and tensions escalate, Lydia and Tiria are pulled into a history that promises to redefine not only the research centre, but the future of the community and the forest they call home.
