At the same time, however, the problems that are presented in this story have universal relevance. The story is, in fact, filled with allusions to the Maori culture and many of the challenges that the Maori people face, those common struggles caused by the colonization of an indigenous people. The Bone People has been praised for its story and for the way it is written, which is said to reflect the intonation and style of the Maori language. As of 2006, it was the only novel that she has published. The Bone People, which began as a short story, took Hulme twelve years to write. Then the book went on to win the prestigious Booker Prize (1985), a coveted literary award. Hulme won New Zealand's Pegasus Prize for Literature (1984) for The Bone People. At the story's core, however, are three people who struggle very hard to figure out what love is and how to find it. This is in no way a romance it is filled with violence, fear, and twisted emotions.
It is unusual in the telling, the subject matter, and the form of love that the story depicts. The Bone People, published in 1984, is an unusual story of love.
