Beautifully written, thoroughly engaging story of close friends and family set in 1930s Hilo, with interspersed chapters giving voice to some characters experiences in earlier decades. The connections between the characters are slowly revealed. Not a book for those who love fast-paced action. Perfect for those who savor a well written book with a strong sense of place, community and rich connections.

Thanks to NetGalley for a review copy.
