I finished my June prompt yesterday, Witi Ihimaera's Whale Rider. A short story, and I'd seen the film, but the book's deep dive into the culture and history of Ihimaera's East Coast Māori heritage was really fascinating. Much more so for me than the magical realism elements - although again, the author's providing a summary of many variants of the Whale Rider myth in his notes after the story was interesting.
