<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Three friends travel by road across New Zealand. As the trip progresses emotions intensify and long buried secrets come to the surface.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The present reckons with the past in <i>Attraction</i>. Porter's unnamed narrator is on a road trip across New Zealand with her friends Ashi and Ilana, haunted by the specter of her emotionally abusive ex-boyfriend, her complicated family background and New Zealand's colonial history. Jealousies intensify as the young women work out who they are and who they might become.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'<i>Attraction</i> peels back the landscape to reveal deeper truths. The writer is right inside her material - a road trip that delivers a political and sexual coming-of-age narrative. The book is a slow-burning fuse that brims with intensely felt experience. Porter is an exciting new talent.'--Lloyd Jones</p><p>'<i>Attraction</i> abounds with sharp imagery, intergenerational relationships and the natural, historic and domestic environments of modern New Zealand. Ruby Porter is a gifted new writer.'--Patricia Grace</p><p> '<i>Attraction</i> is an exquisite story...The prose is emotive and artistic...<i>Attraction</i> is impossible to put down...It is a brilliant, beautiful novel.'--<i>Booksellers NZ</i></p><p>'A coming-of-age story that is full of evocative sketches of the North Island's landscapes.'--<i>Traveller</i> magazine</p><p>'[T]ackling a complex, fraught topic - the very essence of what it is to be a New Zealander - with courage, style and insight.--<i>Stuff New Zealand</i></p><p>'Not a word is wasted. Imagery is of the sharpest level. There is so much to love about this angry, meditative novel that reading it is almost an act of catharsis.'--<i>The AU Review</i></p><p>'Porter's style is spare, immediate and pared back...[A]n intriguing new voice.'--<i>Overland Literary Journal</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ruby Porter is a tutor of creative writing at the University of Auckland. She has been published in Geometry Journal, Aotearotica, Spinoff and Wireless, and a selection of her poetry is available on NZEPC.
