PRAISE FOR THE HALAKA
“The author writes with a dry kiwi humour and wit. I enjoyed the book… It made me think, it made me chuckle, and it surprised me often with its numerous twists and turns.
Warmly recommended.”

“The Halaka is an absorbing story about faith, hope and love -
and the greatest of these is the story..”
