Honolulu by Alan Brennert

4.0

I wanted to read this after reading Moloka'i, which had to be one of my all-time favorite books.

I liked Honolulu, the story of a Korean picture bride who moves to Hawaii to better her life and get the education she's always wanted. Unfortunately, things don't work out on that front for Regret, the main character. Lots of family drama and history is interwoven in this story. Definitely worth a read.

One of my all-time favorites. I love reading books about new cultures, and Moloka'i hooked my interest from the very beginning. The story of a young girl who is mis-diagnosed with leprosy, this story is hearwrenching and joyful.
