About this listen

 The raw and powerful sequel to Once Were Warriors. It is six years since Jake's daughter Grace hanged herself. Jake's wife, Beth, has left him, his son Nig was killed in a gangland fight - his only consolations are drink and his memories. His daughter Polly is determined to escape the violence that is destroying the Maoris. But can Jake, too, redeem himself?©1997 Alan Duff (P)2015 Bolinda Publishing Social Classes & Economic Disparity Sociology

Critic reviews

"a masterpiece ... powerful, authentic, moving, brilliantly written ... a profound and passionate novel ... a memorable experience." (Sydney Morning Herald)
"universal truths to be savoured for their poetic insight" (The Australian)
"[What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?] carries the story on with doubled brilliance. The new book is just as dynamic, just as in-your-face as the first one, but less violent, more layered, more fundamentally thoughtful and challenging." (The New Zealand Listener)
