Industry Reviews
"[A] brilliant panoramic novel about Hawaii from its volcanic origins to its recent statehood. It is a complex and fascinating subject, and it is rendered here with a wealth of scholarship, of literary imagination and of narrative skill, so that the large and diverse story is continually interesting."
New York Times Book Review - Maxwell Geisman (11/22/1959)
"[O]ne of the most enlightening books ever written, either of fact or fiction, about the integration of divergent peoples into a composite society...even more thrilling than the reliving of events, exciting, tense, often stupendous as many of them were. What makes the novel unforgettable is not only the deep understanding of national dreams and ways of life, not only the exciting panorama of events, but the human beings who were the motivators and the movers in the creation of today's Hawaii."
Chicago Tribune - Fanny Butcher (11/22/1959)
"It may never make literary history, but for some time it has been making publishing history."
New York Times - Orville Prescott (01/01/1959)
