A good read but a tough one, mostly because there’s no easy way out of racism and generational poverty, even when you’ve been touched by Hawaiian legends. As a child, Nainoa falls into the water and is magically rescued by sharks; he comes out of the experience bearing supernatural gifts that he cannot quite figure out how to use. His siblings, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, also struggle to make their own way in his shadow. The book is brilliantly written, each viewpoint distinct, and the overall work just seethes with pent-up frustration and thwarted ambition, alongside gorgeous descriptions of Hawaiian landscape. It’s amazing.
