About this listen
Now a feature film, this is the unforgettable story of three women's intersecting lives.
Makareta is the chosen one—carrying her family's hopes.
Missy is the observer—the one who accepts but has her dreams.
Mata is always waiting—for life to happen as it stealthily passes by.
Moving from the forties to the present, from the country to the protests of the cities, Cousins is the story of these three cousins. Thrown together as children, they have subsequently grown apart, yet they share a connection that can never be broken.
A stunning novel about tradition and change, about whanau and its struggle to survive, about the place of women in a shifting world.
Cousins has been adapted for the screen, the film produced by Miss Conception Films and Whenua Films, directed by Ainsley Gardiner and Briar Grace-Smith, screenplay by Briar Grace-Smith and Patricia Grace.

"Patricia Grace writes with an enviable clarity and power." (Evening Post)
"Cousins is an engrossing story that runs on in the head long after it has finished." (Dominion Sunday Times)

Brilliant, immersive, thought-provoking
Thoroughly engaging work - full of rich characters, important perspectives and emotional heft!
Wow.
Once started, it's hard to put it down. If in places you find the narration on the slower side, x 1.2 feels about right. But this is a very, very minor thought.
Already bought Patricia Grace's book 'Tu' in book form, off the back of this. The way the author writes characters - the way they see the world, and internally convey of the weight of their decisions... is all remarkable. Don't wanna say too much, just give it a listen!
