The Maori Wars

 The River Queen


Years ago, when I had a stronger interest in Classical Music than I do now, one film I wanted to see was The River Queen with a score by welsh composer Karl Jenkins.
The story is set during the Maori Wars (1845 - 18720). The story is a romance about the conflict a young soldier  - Kiefer Sutherland -faces when he falls in love with a Maori princess played by Samantha Morton.
My wife's grandfather spent some time in New Zealand, and married a Maori lady.

What I found offensive, again, is she assumed having large reasts, and in her case an oversize bottom was what I like In short, she has nothing of interest for me..

Many of the books are also signed, I never covered the cost I paid, my thinking is I may as well get something back as I never read the books, and there maybe someone who will read the book .
