'This is Us' is a collection of over 200 brief interviews with New Zealanders, in their own words, spanning the length and breadth of the country. Carter spoke with characters from a variety of professions, age groups, and cultural backgrounds, reflecting the ethnic diversity of New Zealand. The result is a book that provides fascinating insight into the common threads that weave the fabric of New Zealand and, in the wake of the Christchurch attacks, is a fitting tribute to the Kiwi spirit.
