The incredible, moving story of Wiremu Maopo, the last of his line
in an eminent South Island family, who joined the second Maori
Contingent and went off to fight in the First World War. Wiremu
writes regularly to his friend Virgie, and the story of Wiremu's
life is woven around 40 letters that he penned during the War. All
of Wiremu's siblings died of illness either in childhood or later
in life and when he returns from the war ironically he is the only
surviving member of the once large family. Wiremu was unaware
during and after the war that his girlfriend Phoebe had given birth
to a daughter who would carry on his line. The Last Maopo also
follows Phoebe's story and reconnects the Maopo line with the
author, Wiremu's great-granddaughter.
