All That We Know | Shilo Kino

'I don't want to be a pioneer. I want to be the last; to enjoy the fruits of everyone else's hard labour' - Māreikura 'Whatever you do, please don't read me a grief quote from the internet' - Chloe 'God loves you' - Eru 'You're never too much for the right person' - Jordana Meet Māreikura Pohe: she's in love with her best friend Eru, who is leaving to go on a church mission, and she's an accidental activist - becoming an online sensation after her speech goes viral. But does she really want the spotlight? Navigating self-diagnosed ADHD, a new romantic relationship, forging friendships and reclaiming her language all at once is no easy feat. And as her platform grows, Māreikura is unwittingly placed on a pedestal as a voice for change against the historical wrongs of colonisation. The question remains: at what personal cost? Set against the vibrant backdrop of Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland, All That We Know is a modern take on family and friendship and how, even in a divided and often polarising world, the resilience of friendship, love, and connection can defy the most challenges of our times. The stunning debut adult novel from award-winning writer Shilo Kino, All That We Know interrogates the far-reaching consequences of colonisation while simultaneously making you laugh and cry. Perfect for readers of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, Greta & Valdin and Such a Fun Age.

'Magnificent ... a well-observed mirror of our current time' Pip Adam 'Shilo Kino is an extraordinary writer - a growing, potent voice in Aotearoa/NZ literature. All That We Own Know is a clever, knowing insight into language trauma and reclamation and how we each navigate our experiences of colonisation and healing through te ao Maori me te ao Pakeha...'
