5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful and heartfelt account of tragedy., June 14, 1998
This review is from: Hawaii's Story by Hawaii's Queen (Paperback)
Hawai`i's Story by Hawai`i's Queen Lili`uokalani details an account of the heartache and tragedy of the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy by the Committee of Safety (Missionary Party) in the late 1800s. Written in the Victorian style of the times by the queen herself, her account shows she was very well aware that she and her people were doomed. Lili`uokalani proves herself a very dignified and regal lady, every inch a queen. Highly recommended reading for the real facts of this tragic period of Hawaiian history.

5.0 out of 5 stars "An Unusual Woman" as she was known by some...very moving..., July 4, 2000
By A Customer
You are there with her in her emotions as you read the accurate accounts from her own words. Who can deny the facts coming from a book written by our beloved Queen Lili`uokalani herself? An incredible woman, faced in a powerless state of being...A Queen of Hearts...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lovely story by the last queen, September 23, 2005
This review is from: Hawaii's Story by Hawaii's Queen (Mass Market Paperback)
Hawaii's last queen really shows how gracious and how much ALoha has had in her life. THis is a wonderful insight into her life and times. A story that shows how much she loved all her people as well as those on her islands. She holds no grudge or bitterness towards those who so wrongly dethoroned and mistrated her so poorly. A must read for an historian and those who want to know what really happend over in a wonderful place called Hawaii.
