EAST WIND, RAIN
When an unidentified plane crashes on the remote Hawaiian
island of Niihau, the islanders have no idea that it is a
Japanese Zero, and that the pilot, who survives the
landing, has just bombed Pearl Harbor. Niihau has no phones, electricity,
or modern conveniences -- an idyllic isolation made deliberate
by the island's strict God-fearing owner, Aylmer Robinson. Uncertain
of what to do with this unexpected visitor who does not speak their
language, the islanders, led by quiet Howard Kaleohano, choose to
wait for Mr. Robinson to arrive for his monthly visit. But when he does
not appear, the Niihauans must take the bold, unusual step of deciding
themselves how to proceed.
In the tradition of Snow Falling on Cedars
comes this provocative and compelling debut
novel of innocence, identity, loyalty, and
betrayal set on a small isolated Hawaiian island
in December 1941 -- based on true events.
