BOTH A BEGINNING AND AN END
Michener's 1959 Hawaii was both the culmination of over a decade researching and writing about the Pacific and the beginning of the expansive style he became known for. His sweeping novel follows four waves of settlement on the Hawaiian islands, exploring the endless push and pull of people groups looking to maintain their identities while also pursuing harmony with one another.
