It says, in English (according to Herr Google):
"The acting persons [the characters] are very lively and you feel with them. This is not just a made-up story but could have happened several times - for the Maori in New Zealand and everywhere in the world."
HERE IS THE COVER BLURB:
Early in the twenty-first century a series of viruses killed eighty percent of the world’s population. Famine loomed.
In New Zealand there was
plenty of food but too few people to process it. The surviving city folk therefore
fled to the countryside where they provided labour to the remaining farmers in
return for a share of the food they helped produce. As a result the country’s
towns and cities were abandoned.
Into this vacuum came the invading
Vandiers, so numerous and wealthy they dominated the small Kiwiland population
whose traditions, culture, religion and language they despised.
The Fable of Flitcroft Point is set in a typical Kiwiland village where, in 2177, the land-grabbing Vandier government has taken village land for its own purposes. The Kiwilanders, angry and frustrated, want their land back. But can their feeble protest succeed against the overwhelming power of central government?
