He has a good flat with his sister Greta, a good career where his colleagues only occasionally remind him that he is the sole Maaori person in the office, and a good friend who he only sleeps with when he’s sad. But when work sends him to Argentina and he’s thrown back in his former lover’s orbit, Valdin is forced to confront the feelings he’s been trying to ignore—and the future he wants.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Greta is not letting her painfully unrequited crush (or her possibly pointless master’s thesis, or her pathetic academic salary...) get her down. She would love to focus on the charming fellow grad student she meets at a party and her friendships with a circle of similarly floundering twenty-somethings, but her chaotic family life won’t stop intruding: her mother is keeping secrets, her nephew is having a gay crisis, and her brother has suddenly flown to South America without a word.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Filled with “kernels of humor and truth” (\u003ci\u003eElle\u003c\/i\u003e) and with an undeniable emotional momentum that builds to an exuberant conclusion, \u003ci\u003eGreta \u0026amp; Valdin \u003c\/i\u003ecareens us through the siblings’ misadventures and the messy dramas of their sprawling, eccentric Maaori-Russian-Catalonian family in Auckland.
