This review is from: Manoa : The Story of a Valley (Hardcover)
This book, Manoa, the Story of a Valley, probably doesn't mean a whole lot to the reader unless 1) you live or have lived in Manoa Valley, or 2) you know a place or a person featured in the book.
Manoa, the Story of a Valley, is a non-fictional account of the physical and cultural evolution of a valley mauka (inland) of Waikiki on the island of Oahu. Even one hundred years ago, it was very rural, full of taro fields and rock walls. Today, it is full of houses, but in a quiet, modest way. This book descibes the past and present of the place and its residents. Aunty Bea was one of those characters, and she was an island treasure. The book is subtitled "The Multicultural Heritage of a Honolulu Neighborhood." The stories come from a variety of perspectives. If you love Manoa, you will want to read this book. |
