A beautiful, traditionally linear novel spanning almost a hundred years of history of a leper colony on Moloka’i, one of the islands in the Hawaiian archipelago.
This book was a complete surprise. I had it on my shelf for ages, and if I had read what it was about, I forgot. I picked it up as a summer read, and was utterly surprised by its subject matter, and very engaging, unsentimental and tactful treatment of the theme.
I loved the main character, Rachel.
