Powerful beautiful writing drew me in, collective familial coping kept me around. I'm not super huge into the magical realism elements (I'm starting to think that genre isn't for me), but it really did mesh with the Hawai'ian backdrop and heritage quite well.

Story of a family touched by something - either magic, or madness.
We follow a mother and three children, later teenagers, and people, who are in a rut born of desperation and poverty. Lonely people plagued by expectations, and circumstance, they are hard to root for and even harder to connect to.
The book was lyrical, and character voices distinct.
