Synopsis

Named one of the best NZ books of 2024 by The Spinoff and Newsroom
In the Bookety Book Books Reader's Choice Top 10

This is Aotearoa, New Zealand.

This is a novel about who we are now.
Past, present and future.
All that we have
is All That We Know.

Meet Māreikura Pohe: she's in love with her best friend, though he's about to abandon her; and she's an accidental activist, though she never asked for the spotlight. Navigating self-diagnosed ADHD and a new relationship while reclaiming her language is no easy feat. But as her platform grows, Māreikura unwittingly becomes a voice for change against the far-reaching consequences of colonisation. The question remains: at what personal cost?

A modern take on family and friendship and how, even in a divided world, love and connection can triumph against all odds.

'Magnificent ... a well-observed mirror of our current time' Pip Adam

'Shilo Kino is an extraordinary writer - a growing, potent voice in Aotearoa/NZ literature. All That We Own Know is a clever, knowing insight into language trauma and reclamation and how we each navigate our experiences of colonisation and healing through te ao Māori me te ao Pākehā...' Miriama Kamo
