The Hungry Heart - Peter Wells

It’s early days but Saturday’s Dominion Post and The Press review also suggests Peter Wells’ new Colenso book is a serious awards contender:
"With a credible grasp of the intricate workings of the societies he’s writing about and the imperatives, positive and negative, of those he’s writing about, The Hungry Heart is an accessible and scholarly biography. Not only does it accord its subject his overdue historical and cultural worth, it constructs him as a man, as accomplished and able as he is flawed and tragic.
Expect nominations for future book awards." - reviewed by Siobahn Harvey
