The Mires - A Novel

"As both a writer and a refugee, this book resonates with my experiences, skilfully addressing the link between refugee lives, colonialism and climate change." -- Behrouz Boochani, author of No Friend But the Mountains " The Mires is an enchanting novel: poignant, earnest and lyrical, this story will settle in your bones." -- Maxine Beneba Clarke, multi-award winning author of When We Say Black Lives Matter and The Patchwork Bike " The Mires is about the monsters we''ve created and the power we have to stop them. A truly magnificent novel." -- Shankari Chandran, 2023 Miles Franklin winner and author of Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens "The Mires is a work of art. The impacts of colonisation, movement, and climate change cut to the bone in glittering prose and through characters kept close as neighbors. In The Mires , the environment speaks, culture transcends boundaries and the myriad ideas of home are bitterly defended. Only Tina Makereti could hold a reader in such tense tenderness." -- Laura Jean McKay, author of The Animals in That Country "An immersive, unnerving novel about the hatred that can rise up out of the locked, curtained rooms in our neighborhoods, and the comfort that can be found in another''s home. A story about people and the land they share. The memories stored in the water and peat. I read this book with equal measures of worry and hope." -- Becky Manawatu, author of Aue and Bones Bay .
