[QUOTE="mrsammler, post: 442668"] Get West of Then. Along with the looking-for-missing-and-homeless-difficult child-Mom story there's a rich evocation of Hawaii as a place, a troubled postcolonial history (which Tara uses as a kind of metaphor for, and comment upon, the descent of her own family line from former prominence to its current raggedy condition), and a "paradise" within which lurks a shadow-world of homeless addicts, of which her mother is one. So there's a lot there--a richly layered story, and beautifully & powerfully written. I admit to a bias, of course, as Tara is a friend of mine, but even if she wasn't, I'd be every bit as impressed with the book. Highest marks, says this former prep school English teacher. :-) [/QUOTE]
