He is days away from his first visit back to Nice since he was a child, bringing with him a handful of puzzling photos he's discovered from his mother's wartime years. But he receives a call from social services: Noah is the closest available relative of an eleven-year-old great-nephew he's never met, who urgently needs someone to look after him. Out of a feeling of obligation, Noah agrees to take Michael along on his trip. Much has changed in this famously charming seaside mecca, still haunted by memories of the Nazi occupation. The unlikely duo, suffering from jet lag and culture shock, bicker about everything from steak fries to screen time. But Noah gradually comes to appreciate the boy's truculent wit, and Michael's ease with tech and sharp eye help Noah unearth troubling details about their family's past. Both come to grasp the risks people in all eras have run for their loved ones, and find they are more akin than they knew. Written with all the tenderness and psychological intensity that made Room an international bestseller, Akin is a funny, heart-wrenching tale of an old man and a boy, born two generations apart, who unpick their painful story and start to write a new one together."--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction Donoghue Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Donoghue Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Donoghue Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Donoghue Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Donoghue Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction Donoghue Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Fiction Donoghue Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Fiction Donoghue Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Fiction Donoghue Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Donoghue Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
