'The novel you never knew you were waiting for' Marlon James 'I didn't want it to end' Sarah Moss <br/> In 1995 in Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i, seven-year-old Nainoa Flores is saved from drowning by a shiver of sharks. His family, struggling to make ends meet amidst the collapse of the sugar cane industry, hails his rescue as a sign of favour from ancient Hawaiian gods. <br/> But as time passes, this hope gives way to economic realities, forcing Nainoa and his siblings to seek salvation across the continental United States, leaving behind home and family. <br/> With a profound command of language, Washburn's powerful debut novel examines what it means to be both of a place, and a stranger in it.
