corinne_schro 's review for:
Hawaii
by James A. Michener
Read this last winter when I was in need of sunny weather. Had no idea what to expect and was absolutely blown away. I loved how the book moves through history following different generations of different families and how their stories intertwined. Bawled my eyes out reading about the brothers fighting in WWII. Felt so angry at the heartless merchant captains and slavers. Felt the beauty of the islands. Felt happy for the ones who were able to make life their own against the odds.
I had no idea what Hawaii's history was like, and this book painted such a vivid picture. The only thing I disliked was how the chapters were laid out. If you like historical fiction, this one deserves a spot on your list!
