She shares her thougths as he works on one of his masterpieces, The Spirit of The Dead Keeps Watch, a work so important to Gauguin that it haunts his later self-portrait. As Teha'amana tells her story, other voices of the island rise: Hina goddess of the moon, a lizard watching from the eaves, Gauguin's mask of Teha'amana carved from one of the trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoven in are the origin myths that cradled Polynesia before French colonists brought the Christian faith. Distant diary entries by Gauguin's daughter Aline - the same age as her father's new 'wife' - recall the other hemisphere of his life. This is the novel that gives Teha'amana a voice; one that travels with the myths and legends of the island, across history and asks to be heard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39903098372193,"sku":"9781910422892","price":11.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_35481192_76aed28d-7717-48b4-ae05-5ad7aacbabf2.jpg?v=1753336017","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781910422892-am-not-your-eve","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
