Mr Hall : " I love this tale as it captures so much that I love about New Zealand. The sea, the essence of Maoridom, perseverance, belief, love, grace and change. At the heart of it is a young girl whose spirit is so resilient that it can't be crushed, broken but not crushed. it is this perseverance that resonates with me, the concept of believing in something bigger than yourself and despite nobody understanding this, you choose to keep on believing. "
