As for me, my parents named me Regret.' "HONOLULU" is the rich, unforgettable story of a young 'picture bride' who travels to Hawai'i in 1914. Instead of the affluent young husband and chance at an education that she has been promised, she is married off to a poor, embittered labourer who takes his frustrations out on his new wife. Renaming herself Jin, she makes her own way in this strange land, finding both opportunity and prejudice. With the help of three of her fellow picture brides, Jin prospers along with her adopted city, now growing from a small territorial capital into the great multicultural city it is today. But paradise has its dark side, whether it's the daily struggle for survival in Honolulu's tenements, or a crime that will become the most infamous in the islands' history...Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 209mmItem Length: 141mmItem Width: 32mmItem Weight: 435gAuthor: Alan BrennertGenre: FictionRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
