My time in Hawaii Book

An utter delight! This is a literary account of the author's years in Honolulu. As an archeology major, Nelson knows her cultures: she paints accurate pictures of Hawaii's diverse ethnic communities. As an English professor and writer extraordinaire, Nelson's language and metaphors are clear, incisive, and poetic. Compared to "Kahala" (which I read immediately previously) the authors' viewpoints and use of language are at extreme ends of the autobiographical spectrum. This is the book to read.
