An interesting story about a spoiled, unmotivated young man that leaves Sweden and goes to his ancestral home of New Zealand. His mother sends him on an assignment to learn about his grandfather, and she hopes, to find himself. Though there weren‘t that many characters, for some reason it was difficult to keep the family connections straight. The writing was fine, but the tone was flat, with no plateaus, valleys or a climax.

pickThe premises of this book, isn‘t really the book, or only a really small portion of it. I thoroughly enjoyed this family story spanning around 50 years between New Zealand and Hawaii. Its beautifully written and teaches one a thing or two about these countries and their history from a native people‘s standpoint.
Are you a physical book purist or do you delve into the dark side and read ebooks? Until recently I couldn‘t stand to read on my Kindle. Now, I‘m beginning to quote enjoy it. For epics like Anna Karenina or even Gaskell‘s Wives and Daughters, it‘s refreshingly easy. #kindle #litsy #ebook #question
