The unflinching new book When Darkness Stays by historian Paul Moon is based on the time he spent capturing the oral history of late Tūhoe tohunga, Hо̄hepa Kereopa. Dr Moon thought he was "the last person on the planet" to take on such an important task, and was resistant to the idea when it was suggested to him. But when he met Kereopa for the first time something just clicked.
