Sharks in the Time of Saviours
Description
In the wake of Hawaii's collapsing sugar cane industry, a young boy's miraculous rescue from the ocean by sharks is seen by his struggling family as a divine omen. As economic hardship forces his siblings to seek fortune on the mainland, the boy grapples with his family's hopes and the profound sense of displacement. This powerful debut novel explores themes of faith, family, and the enduring connection to one's homeland, even when far removed. It masterfully examines the complex identity of those who are both deeply rooted in a place and irrevocably changed by their journeys away from it.
