A review by ewally
Moloka'i by Alan Brennert

5.0

As a lover of historical fiction, this book easily made my favorites shelf and I will be recommending it to all my friends. It was so real and raw and inspiring. I also appreciated how at the end of the novel the author included a note about where he got his information and how, despite all the characters being fictional, what real accounts inspired those stories - if any. This was a very educational read and I appreciated the insight into the history of the leprosy settlement in Hawaii. I truly feel like a better person having read this book and I eagerly look forward to purchasing other books by this author.
