The son of a Pākehā trader, Cedric survives the destruction of Te Kuma pā and is taken into the household of a Pākehā-Māori guardian, growing up between communities, loyalties and ways of understanding the land. His personal development unfolds against escalating conflict in the Waikato, while love and loss force him to confront the divisions around him. William Satchell combines historical reconstruction with a coming-of-age story, contrasting rural Māori and settler life with colonial Auckland. The result is a significant early New Zealand novel about identity, memory and the human consequences of cultural collision.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48368554934484,"sku":"TVJ-027454","price":16.1,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-027454-1.jpeg?v=1785147306","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/the-greenstone-door-by-william-satchell","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
