Daughter of Moloka'i by Alan Brennert
5.0
Daughter of Moloka’i is the sequel to Alan Brennart’s novel. Sometimes sequels dont live up to the first book but after reading Daughter Of Moloka’i this was not the case. This beautiful story lived up to Moloka’i. The images i could see from these books will live in my memory for quite awhile,
Possibly Brennart’s greatest gift to the novel is his ability to deeply and deftly describe the places and people so that we are transported to that time and local. We emotionally connect with Ruth. We feel her sadness, we celebrate her joy and fulfillment. We won’t forget her. You can’t ask for more than that in a novel.
