Description
A novel of secrets, intrigue, surprise, and discovery. Forget everything you've heard about happy-go-lucky Hawaiians living in an island paradise, as one of the characters says. It's an island, and we're Hawaiian. But that's about it. In the green depth of memory where the dead whisper to the living, Georgia Ka'apuni McMillen weaves a tale as lush and mysterious as the landscape of her story--Hawaii. Weaving back and forth in time, from the 1920's to the 1980's, the SCHOOL FOR HAWAIIAN GIRLS explores the lineage of the Kahula family, besotted by tragedy and buried in secrets. At the heart of the story is the murder and rape of sixteen-year-old Lydia Kahula. Her younger brother, Sam, exacts revenge for his sister's death and is determined to free himself, by whatever means necessary, from his family's history of struggle and poverty.
