Come on Shore and We Will Kill and Eat You All - Christina Thompson


Come on Shore and We Will Kill and Eat You All - Christina Thompson (2008)

During a holiday break from studying graduate studies in Australia, American student Christina Thompson takes a short holiday in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand. While waiting for her bus, she heads to the local pub where she meets a local boy - Seven. Missing her bus, she heads home with him, falls in love, meets his family, and eventually persuades him to travel to Melbourne with her.

After marrying and having three sons together, Christina shares the story of their live together while looking at New Zealand history, discussing both Tasman and Cooks discovery of New Zealand and early colonial/Maori interactions.

I learnt a bit, and found it witty and smart. 3/5
