5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Sequel about the First Japanese in Hawaii, December 4, 2006
This review is from: The Water of Kane (Mutual Publishing Paperbacks) (Mass Market Paperback)
Another stellar Bushnell story. This is the continuation of The Stone of Kannnon, which recounts the story of the first Japanese arriving to the Hawaiian Islands (Maui). Unfortunately in the begining of the book I had a hard time remembering the characters. As I read on I began to remember, it was like meeting long lost friends. While the focous was on the immigrant workers that were building an irrigation ditch, I enjoyed the little side stories of some of the other immigrants who had decieded to go on to other endevors (farming, prositution). It was also interesting to see the contrast in some of the Hoale characters, which is very realistic to Hawaii. This author can really convey the feeling of Hawaii.
