From Alan Brennert, the acclaimed author of Moloka'i, comes the story of a young Korean " picture bride" who immigrates to Honolulu in 1914.
Honolulu is meticulously researched…[Brennert] intersperses cultural detailssong lyrics, movies, popular books from the erathat add textured authenticity, and he incorporates major historic events…In many respects, Jin's story is prototypical, the bildungsroman of an aspiring woman, yearning for a life beyond the one society has prescribed. (Jin Eyre, anyone?) But in mooring this familiar character to the unique history of early-20th-century Hawaii, Brennert portrays the Aloha State's history as complicated and dynamicnot simply a melting pot, but a Hawaiian-style "mixed plate" in which, as Jin sagely notes, "many different tastes share the plate, but none of them loses its individual flavor, and together they make up a uniquely 'local' cuisine."
