He worked as a journalist and was variously involved with left-wing politics. This, his first novel, Māori Girl, was primarily a response to racial discrimination in New Zealand. The story is that of Netta Samuel an attractive and easy-going Maori girl who lives with her family in the North Island. A casual and disappointing affair compels her to leave home in order to avoid the threatened disgrace to her family. Plunged into the grim vortex of city life, where Maori are at a disadvantage and lonely girls the prey to every stray and rascal, Netta only survives because of her innate honesty and simplicity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Noel Hilliard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by Heinemann, first edition 1960\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCloth hardcover with torn dust jacket, 263 pp. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eG+ condition, minor marks and small borer hole to back cover and last few pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e $30  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anec•dote","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51585923973423,"sku":"UB533","price":30.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0912\/0579\/6143\/files\/UB533.jpg?v=1751506964","url":"https:\/\/anec-dote.co.nz\/products\/first-edition-nz-fiction-maori-girl-by-noel-hilliard","provider":"Anec•dote","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
