A review by k5tog
Island of Shattered Dreams by Chantal T. Spitz

4.0

This novel was the first by a native of French Polynesia. It tells the story of the destruction of the native people’s way of life brought about by colonialism culminating in the novel with the building of nuclear missile base on the fictional island of Ruahine.

The story is moving and sad, despite some of the language being stilted (translation issues?).
