Set mainly in contemporary Hawaii, it is a spectacular odyssey through fire and water, a journey that begins in the nineteenth century with the fateful meeting of a Yankee sailor and the runaway daughter of a Tahitian chief. Sweeping from that distant past into the present turbulent decade, Kiana Davenport has woven an astonishing, compassionate portrait of her people, one of personal and political complexities - a surreal and provocative, wise and erotic tale of villains and dreamers, of "stone-eaters" and queens, of revolutionaries, and of lepers and healers. Central to all is the matriarch Pono, a statuesque, pure-blooded Hawaiian, a kahuna, or seer, whose past is shrouded in mystery. Pono's love for Duke Kealoha - a man hidden from the world, a man his daughters and granddaughters have never knownis one of the most haunting love stories of our time, a love that lasts through sixty years, a love so profound she "dares everything, commits every conceivable act for him." As the novel opens, Pono's four granddaughters are converging on her run-down coffee plantation on the Big Island, summoned by Pono in her eighty-fourth year. United by their fear of and devotion to Pono, each woman is of "mixed blood" parentage: Ming - Hawaiian-Chinese, is a lover of art and music, who suffers from lupus; Vanya - Hawaiian-Filipino, is a lawyer and a fiery political activist; Rachel - Hawaiian-Japanese, is a great beauty, obsessed with herYakuza husband; JessHawaiian-Caucasian, is a veterinarian, whose pale skin makes her "inferior" in Pono's eyes. Never having known their true genealogy "Pono's girls, " as they are called, have led tormented, scattered lives. Now, caught up in Pono's spell, feeling a sense of "immi(less)

This book utterly defies categorization. It begins with a brief introduction of four girl cousins winging their way back to Pono's coffee farm in the 1990s. Then it jumps back in time and becomes historical fiction with a smattering of magical realism. Hawaii's sad and painful past is covered, with special emphasis on the way lepers were treated through the decades. But it's also a family saga following the generations of women in Pono's family, beginning with the unlikely pairing of a Tahitian...more

The first half of this novel is wonderful! I could not get enough of it. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the Tahitian runaway bride and the one eyed whaler and their life in pioneer Hawaii and their children. I learned so much about Hawaii history. Davenport has exceptional talent throwing in historical facts and details without losing the magic of an engrossing storyline. I was overtaken with emotion many times.

I read Shark Dialogues while in Hawaii, and it made me enjoy the book more than I would have. The language strays into over-adjectival cheesiness, especially whenever anyone admires nature or has sex. And although I'm sympathetic to the claims of the Hawaiian sovereignty movement, it really bums me out to read a novel that's openly sympathetic to terrorism. Sorry, Davenport, but I just can't get down with that.

Anyway, the real reason to read this book is for the first half, when Davenport skillf...more

sorry if the review is long and boring, but i just don't want to forget everything i was thinking as i read this book. (less)

Conveys in rich context a pain and loss singular to the islands of the Pacific. The rape of a culture and the death of a way of life is made immediate and painfully real. At the same time, it honors the bloody mash of Pacific and Asian cultures unique to the Hawaiian Islands and the savage history of sugar plantations and the bond this has created amongst local people. A new culture exists, one laden with loss, but also a vibrant mix of people with strong traditions based on dozens of cultures.

This story is so amazing! I loved the integration of the history of Hawai'i into the matriarchal genealogy of the main character, Pono. The first half of the book was so engrossing I read it in one day! Pono's stories and history were beautiful and powerful. But the second half sort of lost me. The cousins' stories were harder to keep track of, in terms of who was the daughter of whom. And the language got a little repetitive.

I got this while vacationing in Hawaii (via kindle, bookstores scarce) and was pleased as I realized the main house was in the same neighborhood where we stayed, down Napo'opo'o Road over Kealakekua Bay. It was epic. I'd call it a native Hawaiian woman's answer to Michener's saga of the islands but it's more than that. This was more sociologically inclined, to the point where at times the milieus seemed larger than the characters, and the characters seemed bigger viewed from the inside than from...more

I adored the first half of this book, the story of Pono, a woman of enormous power and connection to the islands on which she was born. Pono's story also encompasses that of her grandparents and parents, and through them the history of 19th century Hawai'i -- land loss, exploitation, annexation, and betrayal. One of the great strengths of the story is that immigrations, laborers, and sex workers are as important to the narrative as politicians and men of wealth, and that mystery and the natural...more

While Hawaii carries an all encompassing viewpoint, Shark Dialogues, by Kiana Davenportm is a debut novel that is spellbinding in its imagery and ancient myths. It is a stunningly sensual and epic novel of a Polynesian Hawaiian family that centers on the awe-inspiring matriarch, Pono, a prophet gifted with magic powers and her four estranged, mixed-marriage granddaughters. I think Pono is one of the most powerful and magical characters in modern day fiction. Ms. Davenport manages to maneuver the...more

I welcomed reading this book, one I found often hard to put down, which is always a gift. I loved immersing myself in the history of one family and the strong dynamics of women amongst themselves--how love can and cannot manifest itself.

I'm pretty torn on how I feel about this book. For one thing, it could have been a lot shorter (although, I've noticed I say that about a lot of long books, so maybe the issue isn't with the books but with my ever shortening attention span). As many other reviews noted, it could have used a better editor. The writing was engaging and romantic, but the characters weren't terribly likable.

For one thing, it could have been a lot shorter (although, I've noticed I say that about a lot of long books, so maybe the issue isn't with the books but with my ever shortening attention span). As many other reviews noted, it could have used a better editor. The writing was engaging and romantic, but the characters weren't terribly likable. Granted, a novel can be great even with unlikable protagonists (Jane Austen's Emma comes to mind).

One reviewer noted Davenport wrote with a strong political agenda, which I agree with... and yet I'm still unsure as to what exactly is her agenda. On one hand, she wrote about five strong women with a matriarch at the head of the family (Pono), but, on the other hand, Pono sacrificed so much of her life for a man (Duke). Duke was the one who taught Pono everything, taught her about the world, introduced her to society, and, ultimately, the one who called the shots in terms of not allowing Pono to reveal the truth about him to her daughters. So was Pono really the one in control or was Duke pulling all the strings? I'm certainly not arguing that Pono isn't a strong character nor a strong woman because it would take an enormous amount of strength to do what she did (hide with Duke in the jungle, raise four daughters on her own, etc.), but in many cases it seemed as if Pono wasn't in control of her own life. She gave that power to Duke.

The four granddaughters really aren't much better in terms of being strong women who choose to live their own lives. I suppose that's the point though -- that they couldn't live their own lives and become who they were meant to be until they learned about their past (in other words, learned about and met Duke). I understand that family ties are very important, and probably very much so in Hawaiian culture, but it still all comes back to Duke. No one could truly blossom until Duke reappeared in the picture.

Another issue in the story is that of the Hawaiians trying to reclaim their land and the influence of haoles (white people) on the island. An initial reading might make one think Davenport dislikes haoles, and yet I feel as if she's almost saying something completely different. The family began with the marriage of a Tahitian princess to a haole from America. Thus, Davenport sets the stage for the union of Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders with haoles from the very beginning; intimating that this union is a positive one because it set the stage for the family. Other haoles in the book are treated quite well in the end. Simon is ultimately the only one who can show Vanya (the darkest of the granddaughters, thus the one who looks the most Hawaiian) how to love and how to live. And Jess, who can pass as white, is ultimately given the gift of a mahuna. Jess, the whitest looking of the granddaughters, the one who is half Hawaiian/half haole, is the one who will come to most embody Pono. There are many times when Duke refers to Hawaiian miscegenation as hybrids of the future. I think Davenport sends a strong message with that phrase.

Overall, I'm glad I read this book. The sections in the beginning about Hawaiian history were fascinating. I'm just not really sure what to make of it. I'd probably have to read it again with a more critical eye, learn more about the author, etc. to really write a thorough review and/or to come to any conclusions.(less)

The story opens in 1991 as the 4 granddaughters of Pono, great-granddaughter of Mathys Coenradsten, a shipwrecked whaler, and Kelonikoa, a run-away Tahitian beauty sent to Hawai'i to marry the cousin of King Kamahameha III, are summoned "home."
Pono is kahuna, able to see the future through her dreams. She has seen a faceless form swimming with her totem, sharks, and believes she will soon die. In her youth, Pono met and fell in love with Duke Kealoha, owner of a small coffee plantation on the big island of Hawaii. All of his family has died of leprosy and he, too, will be stricken with the disease and forced to confinement in the Kalaupapa leper colony on the island of Molokai. Over the years, Pono makes sneak visits to Kalaupapa, remaining faithful to her lover, Duke, and bearing him 4 daughters. The rigors of being a poor, single mother working in the pineapple canneries (the coffee plantation lies in ruin because the workers ran away, afraid of catching leprosy) take its toll on her relationship with her daughters, who do not know the truth about their father, and eventually they all run away, estranged from their mother. She returns to the coffee plantation and with the help of an old, destitute friend (Run Run) and Tang Pin, the plantation's faithful caretaker, she brings the plantation back to life.
One day a baby,is left on the doorstep of the plantation house. Tied to her wrist is a note, "Her name is Rachel. Maybe you give her kine love I never got. Mina." Determined that Rachel grow up knowing her family, Run Run goes behind Pono's back and finds Edita, Holo and Emma and, while not reconciled with their mother, eventually they allow their daughters ( Vanya, Jessamyn and Ming) to make annual summer pilgrimages to the plantation. Summers on the plantation are filled with stories of the Coenradsten past and the family's connection to the history of Hawai'i, first as a sovereign monarchy and then as a territory of the United States.
My perception of Hawai'i has always been "Paradise." In reading this book, my eyes were opened to a less than paradisiacal reality. Hawai'i was stolen from her native people. Their is a strong independence movement in Hawai'i ( www.hawaii-nation.org/ ). Perhaps Shark Dialogues is not so much a family saga as a political commentary. It's worth the read.
