One character in this novel wins a bar fight through intimidation by catching a fly and flinging it at a drunkard, and another character is restored to health by a man known as "The Keeper" after trying to commit suicide. Another character's anger over the death of the pedophile Binny Daniels leads him to smash the protagonist's guitar and break the window of every shop in town. The protagonist has regular conversations with a coffee grinder in a house known as "the Tower" and receives a letter from an Irish Earl confirming that a necklace she was given is actually a rosary. At the beginning of this novel, the protagonist finds a sandal with a hole pierced through its sole that belongs to a mysteriously (*) mute boy, who earlier had washed ashore after a shipwreck. That boy, Simon, is beaten periodically by his surrogate father, Joe Gillayley. For 10 points, name this novel about Kerewin Holmes, a part-Maori painter, by Keri Hulme.
