I read The Bone People many years ago, and I found it very thought provoking
RIP to a wonderful NZ writer.

Noooo! Bugger!
The bone people is one of my all time favourite books - I may have to read it again soon now. That's a big loss to NZ - its not as though we can afford to lose writers of her quality.

She was a ground-breaker for literature in Auotearoa. I loved The Bone People. Sad that she has died so young.

I was stunned by her age; not sure why but I thought she was only around 40-50. Did BAIT ever get published, does anyone know?

It seems to have been published:
Published by Viking Penguin
Original TitleBait (Pb)
ISBN 0140170375
But Amazon doesn't have it in any format, nor is it available from Book Depository.

Cheers for posting that, Olive. She was certainly an interesting woman.

Years ago, Keri was an active poster at Russell Brown's blog, Public Address - she used the pseudonym "Islander". She was a very interesting lady.
