This review is from: The Art of Tivaevae: Traditional Cook Islands Quilting (Hardcover)
I purchased this book because I was fascinated by the design and color of tivaevae. But what makes this book endearing is the personal stories of the people who practice this art and are trying to keep this important aspect of Pacific Island culture alive.
If you are travelling to the Cook Islands and want to experience something off the well worn Lonely Planet path, ask a local to see her tivaevae. The people in the Cook Islands are the nicest I've met and if they have tivaevae in their homes, they probably will have no qualms about sharing the story of these amazing quilts with you. You can also travel to the Cook Islands and learn to make these quilts. They also have festivals sometimes displaying the more remarkable tivaevae. Even if you aren't into quilting, this book is excellent for learning about a unique aspect of island culture. If you are looking for fiction about the islands, look at Frangipani: A Novel.
