This is Aotearoa, New Zealand.
This is a novel about who we are now.
Past, present and future.
All that we have
is All That We Know.
Meet Mareikura Pohe: she's in love with her best friend, though he's about to abandon her; and she's an accidental activist, though she never asked for the spotlight. Navigating self-diagnosed ADHD and a new relationship while reclaiming her language is no easy feat. But as her platform grows, Mareikura unwittingly becomes a voice for change against the far-reaching consequences of colonisation. The question remains: at what personal cost?
A modern take on family and friendship and how, even in a divided world, love and connection can triumph against all odds.
'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...' Miriama Kamo
