Summary: |
"From the fabric of memory and personal recollection, there has come a series of tales of a Hawaii
which is no more, of a world which disappeared in the turbulent decades which followed
the tragic overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy...." "...Portrays with depth and feeling the personalities who made their way through
these [post-monarchy] decades, seeking their adjustment in the new life which had been
thrust uipon them. Gothic in dimension, they come forward with firmness and clarity.
All remain to haunt the reader with poignancy and nostalgia.
Rising to a crescendo, the night rides of Hawaii's own Kaiulani carry the reader forward,
even as the hooves of the Arabian mare upon which she rides pound the silent roads
and pathways of Honolulu. This volume of stories, from the pen of Holt,
will bring an unforgettable addition to the literature of Hawaii." CLICK THE "MORE IMAGES" LINK ABOVE TO SEE MORE OF THIS TITLE |
