Nation

When a giant wave destroys his entire Nation, his family and everyone he has ever known, Mau finds himself totally alone. Until he meets Daphne, daughter of a colonial Governor and the sole survivor from a shipwreck. They have no common language, no common culture, but together they discover some remarkable things, like how to milk a pig and why spitting in beer is a good idea, and must try and forge a new kind of Nation. Then other survivors arrive to take refuge on the island, and not all of them are friendly.
