About This Novel

Love, violence, sex, sin, and the entire history of mankind are all unfolding magnificently on this island. On average, every 3.77 Americans own one Michener novel. He is a Pulitzer Prize winner, the godfather of historical fiction, and is known as "the chronicler of 20th century history." Hundreds of millions of years ago, volcanoes erupted, seawater surged, and strange islands rose from the earth's crust; 1,200 years ago, 57 native Hawaiians drove a canoe across thousands of miles of sea to settle here to avoid disaster; in 1822, the "Thetis" arrived at the port of Hawaii carrying 11 missionary couples. Over the next 100 years, their descendants established a large family and gradually controlled the political and economic lifeline of the Hawaiian Islands.
