Product Description
Synopsis
Two Oxford dons, Mike Newall and Bertie Winterstoke, attend the funeral of Donovan O'Dwyer, an expatriate New Zealander. After the ceremony, Newall reveals that O'Dwyer spent his life haunted by a Maori curse, the "makutu", allegedly brought down upon him because he killed one of his own men.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stead captures the spirit of the New Zealand diaspora, 24 Mar 2002
By A Customer
Talking about O'Dwyer is a novel which explores distances - between cultures; between generations; between continents; between lovers. With each distance comes a matching diaspora of exiles - of Pakeha New Zealanders, somehow never quite truly at home in their own country; of those who grew up but were unable to be a part of war; of that great mass of New Zealanders living in the UK and feeling the chasm of the thousands of kilometers; of those who attempt to return to the arms of those who long ago pushed them away. Stead captures all of these distances, all of these diasporas brilliantly. A novel for any generation, and particularly a novel for people who themselves claim the membership of some sort of exile.
