How much did I enjoy this book? THIS MUCH. Set in Tahiti, it is full of lovable characters, practical wisdom and infused with the atmosphere of the island. I've never read anything set there before, and will be seeking out other books from this author (I understand this is her 3rd).

10* als het had gekund.
Voel je wel eens droevig zonder reden?
Wil je soms een knuffel van je moeder, maar is ze niet in de buurt?
Geloof je soms dat de wereld een stomme plek is?
Of: heb je gewoon zin in een zalig boek?

Neem dan een van Célestine Hitiuara Vaite's boeken. Het is een mix van Engels, Frans, en Tahitiaanse (?) humor, zoveel droge humor. Op iedere pagina valt er iets te lachen. Maar je gaat ook meer van de wereld houden, meer van je familie, dit boek is één en al warmte en liefde. En humor dus.
Als ik kon schrijven zoals deze dame, dan hield ik er nooit meer mee op.

Definitely in the vein of No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, Tiare is an amusing and delightful tale about a Tahitian family and is an easy, enjoyable read. It is the second book in the Materena Mahi series by Celestine Hitiura Vaite, but not having read the first one did not detract at all from this story. You'll read this with a smile on your face.

This book really had me - I get so attached to these characters! I also love all of the language stuff, so it sucks me right in.
