Intimately tied to the Hawaiian Islands, This is Paradise explores the relationships among native Hawaiians, local citizens, and emigrants from (and to) the contiguous forty-eight states. There is tension between locals and tourists, between locals and the military men that populate their communities, between local Hawaiian girls who never leave, and those who do so for higher education and then return. Kahakauwila is a careful observer of her protagonists' actions - and, sometimes, their inaction. Her portrayal of people whose lives have lost their centre of gravity is acute, often heartbreaking, and suffused with a deeply felt empathy. With a contemporary edginess, a mature style, and a sense of history reverberating into the present, This is Paradise is an incredible debut"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Ewa Beach P/S Library Hawaiian Fiction Kahakauwila   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Kahakauwila   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Ka pbk Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H Ka   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H Ka   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library R -- Hawaiian & Pacific H Ka   Non Circulating   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Kahakauwila pbk Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Hawaiian Fiction H Kahakauwila   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Kahakauwila   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Kahakauwila   Checked out 05/09/2024 Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 4 Next
