La Salpêtrière hospital is in too many occupants, not enough beds. Halfway across the world, France's colony in the wilds of North America has space to spare and needs families to fill it. So the director of the hospital rounds up nearly a hundred female "volunteers" of childbearing age--orphans, prisoners, and mental patients--to be shipped to New Orleans. Among this group are three unlikely a sharp-tongued twelve-year old orphan, a mute 'madwoman,' and an accused abortionist. Charlotte, Pétronille, and Geneviève, along with the dozens of other women aboard La Baleine, have no knowledge of what lies ahead and no control over their futures. Strangers brought together by fate, these brave and fierce young women will face extraordinary adversity--pirates, slavedrivers, sickness, war--but also the private trauma of heartbreak and unrequited love, children born and lost, cruelty and unexpected pleasure, and a friendship forged in fire that will sustain through the years. At once a gorgeously written work of startling depth and emotion and a gripping drama marrying high-seas adventure with pioneer grit, Pelican Girls is a powerful, thought-provoking novel about female friendship and desire and the daunting compromises women are forced to make to survive.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Malye Checked out 06/12/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Malye Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Adult Fiction Malye Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Fiction Mayle Checked out 06/13/2024 Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Fiction Malye Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Fiction Malye Checked out 06/14/2024 Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Fiction Mayle Checked out 06/06/2024 Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Fiction Malye Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Fiction Malye Checked out 05/31/2024 Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
