- Synopsis
- Spanning three generations, this epic novel tells the story of a family and community in Western Samoa, exploring themes such as greed, corruption, colonialism, exploitation and revenge. A classic work of Pacific literature. Written by a British author, this novel utilizes British spellings and punctuation styles. A single quotation mark is used for opening and closing dialogue, while the double quotation mark is used for interior quotes. There are no periods after titles such as Dr, Mr, or Mrs. There is a glossary at the end of the book that is very helpful to read first, then refer to throughout reading.
