Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. stephenhongsohn, 2011 Dec 22 The newest edition from Yamanaka, and as usual very evocative of the world of Hawai'i, this time Hawai'i of the past. It's always interesting to read interpretations of Oahu before the modern era, and this novel does a wonderful job of painting the intimate details of that landscape as Yamanaka imagines it through her experiences as a native islander. Particularly notable is Yamanaka's knowledge of local plants and healing, which is expertly woven into the story. Also a great opportunity for people unfamiliar with Hawai'ian pidgin to experience it in literary form, and in a way that connects the pidgin to its roots in the number of languages employed by various ethnic groups cohabitating in early Hawai'i. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: Behold the Many is the eerily beautiful story of three young sisters, Anah, Aki, and Leah. In 1913, they are sent away from their family for treatment for tuberculosis to an orphanage in Hawaii's Kalihi Valley. Of the three, two will die there, in spite of the nuns' best efforts to save them, and only Anah, the eldest, will grow to adulthood. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
