Read this on the plane ride home from Hawaii. It was a great cap piece to a wonderful vacation - a reminder of old Hawaii and Hawaiian culture, as well as explorations of grief and stigma. The writing was simplistic and some of the changes in character perspective were a little jarring, but overall, a book worth reading.
