ISBN:  9781641294294 (hardcover) : 1641294299 (hardcover) : Description:  276 pages ; 21 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "1914, Fiji: Akal Singh, 25, would rather be anywhere but this tropical paradise-- or as he calls it, "this godforsaken island." After a promising start to his career in Hong Kong, Akal has been sent to Fiji as punishment for a professional mistake. Lonely and humiliated, Akal plods through his work and dreams of getting back to Hong Kong or his native India. When an indentured Indian woman goes missing from a sugarcane plantation and Fiji's newspapers scream "kidnapping," the inspector-general reluctantly assigns Akal the case. Akal, eager to achieve redemption, agrees--but soon finds himself fare more invested than he could have expected. Now not only is he investigating a disappearance, but also confronting the brutal realities of the indentured workers' existence and the racism of the British colonizers in Fiji--along with his own thorny notions of personhood and caste. Early interrogations of the white plantation owners, Indian indentured laborers, and native Fijians yield only one conclusion: there is far more to this case than meets the eye."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Liliha Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Rao Checked out 05/31/2024 Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Hawaiian Fiction Rao Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Rao Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Rao Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Rao Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: Prev 1 2
