All That We Know

'I don't want to be a pioneer. I want to be the last; to enjoy the fruits of everyone else's hard labour' - Mareikura

'Whatever you do, please don't read me a grief quote from the internet' - Chloe

'God loves you' - Eru

'You're never too much for the right person' - Jordana

Meet Mareikura Pohe: she's in love with her best friend Eru, who's leaving to go on a church mission, and she's an accidental activist - becoming an online sensation after her speech goes viral. But does she really want the spotlight?

Navigating self-diagnosed ADHD, a new romantic relationship, forging friendships and reclaiming her language all at once is no easy feat. And as her platform grows, Mareikura is unwittingly placed on a pedestal as a voice for change against the historical wrongs of colonisation. The question remains: at what personal cost?

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Tamaki Makaurau, Auckland, All That We Know is a modern take on family and friendship and how, even in a divided and often polarising world, the resilience of friendship, love, and connection can defy the greatest challenges of our times.

The stunning debut adult novel from award-winning writer Shilo Kino, All That We Know interrogates the far-reaching consequences of colonisation while simultaneously making you laugh and cry. Perfect for readers of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, Greta & Valdin and Such a Fun Age.

Shilo Kino (Ngapuhi, Ngati Maniapoto) is an award-winning author. Her debut novel The Porangi Boy won The Young Adult Fiction award at the New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults in 2021.

All That We Know is her second book. She currently lives in Tamaki Makaurau.
