A beautifully written story, with a really strong sense of narrator, setting and characters that really carried the story throughout. It's a beautiful look into the history and culture of a place that's often simplified.
Very well done!

DrApple | 4 altre recensioni | Aug 21, 2023 | A lot of things that make Hula by Jasmin Iolani Hakes interesting also make it a challenging read — the Hawaiian language and speech used throughout the story, the change in POV, and the back-and-forth timeline. Hakes explores the women of the Naupaka family through multiple generations and their connection to their homeland and each other through hula. At times she also moves from the narrative into a third-person omniscient point of view to give historical notes and perspectives. Overall, a well-written novel for readers who enjoy multi-generational stories and want to learn about Hawaii.
