About This Item
New York. 1997. April 1997. Norton. 1st Printing. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0393040240. 192 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Richard Poulin, Amy Kwon, Poulin & Morris. keywords: Literature Women Hawaii America. FROM THE PUBLISHER - At the novel's beginning, Kinau says of her husband, gone five years and with another woman, I could not tell if I was more possessed by Ivan's absence than by the man himself.' But then a bizarre incident brings Ivan back, and a new chain of passion and leavetaking inevitably spins itself out. Kinau's life is shaped by the stories and feral energy of her mother (a woman of many husbands) and by the always hovering and jealous presence of the gods. Revenge for a boy's accidental death calls for a bounty on sharks and results in a fishing frenzy. Tidal waves have wreaked havoc, and will again. A volcano carries its own portentous message. And finally, there is Hawaii itself, source of loss, of risk, and possibly of salvation. inventory #23640 ISBN: 0393040240.
