A review by klboehm
Moloka'i by Alan Brennert

5.0

A sweeping masterpiece, a story beautifully told of a young girl who is very reluctantly exiled to the leper island of Molokai in spite of her mother’s efforts to conceal her daughter’s disease. Heartbreaking account of her life in seclusion and her struggles to adapt in a community which is isolated and feared by outsiders. Historical fiction at it’s finest.
