The murderer vanishes into the early 20th century Hawaiian landscape. But this is not an ordinary murder mystery. As with life in the Hawaiian Islands, the events in Georgia Ka'apuni McMillen's first novel, School for Hawaiian Girls, do not conform to formula or idealized notions of a Pacific paradise. The sheriff bungles the investigation of Lydia Kaluhi's murder. Her surviving family copes with the loss by ignoring the faltering investigation, and refusing to speak of the murder But in not speaking of the murder, they begin not speaking of the victim Lydia--and they begin to forget her. The initial mystery in this novel is far more interesting than whodunit or why--although these questions are answered. The mystery that Lydia's family must solve is how to go on living after Lydia's death. They choose silence, but that decision carries its own tragedy and high price. Eventually, the mystery they must grapple with is how they might, once again, remember Lydia. These questions--What is the cost of forgetting? What is the value of remembering?--propel the novel. The reader follows the Kaluhi family as it struggles into the 20th century. ISBN 9780759627338 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 306.…
