This review is from: Sons for the Return Home (Talanoa) (Paperback)
Albert Wendt is on faculty now at the University of Hawaii, and he and his wife are wonderful, friendly people. This book is an early (1973) partially autobiographical novel of his love for his wife. He's a Samoan immigrant to New Zealand and she's a white native. The cultural gaps are bridged with considerable sensitivity to all parties. The book has aged reasonably well, but it's a far less mature work than the author has produced more recently.
