This richly imagined novel, set in Hawai'i more than a century ago, is an extraordinary epic of a little-known time and place---and a deeply moving testament to the resiliency of the human spirit.

Then one day a rose-colored mark appears on her skin, and those dreams are stolen from her.

Here her life is supposed to end---but instead she discovers it is only just beginning.

Evaluate About Books Moloka'i (Moloka'i #1)

By-the-numbers exotic historical fiction about the leper colony on the Hawaiian island of Molokai at the end of the nineteenth century. The language is an ungainly mixture of anachronistic modernisms (she gave him the stink-eye), boring clichés (harsh glare, warm glow), and metaphorical flourishes that fall flat (Dorothy felt something wet fall on her leg, unexpected as a drop of rain on a sunny day). Brennert is a veteran screenwriter for shows like L.A. Law, and much of the dialogue here

Update: I never wrote a full review of this book. I read it before I joined Goodreads. --Its 'still' a favorite! If you've never read about the ways the community reacted to leprosy during its day --this book gives you the experience. (pretty sad) A young girl is removed from her family --sent to the quarantined leprosy settlement on the island of Moloka'. We meet many vibrant characters on the island and watch Rachel grow up --I laughed -and cried. This story has stayed with me for approx. 13

Moloka'i is a book that sums up for me why I love historical fiction. I need to learn something with each book that I read and and I love my history to read like fiction and with Moloka'i you get all these wonderful elements and more. I really enjoyed this novel and I had thought from reading the blurb that this was going to be a depressing read and but Alan Brennert has a way of telling a story and getting the point across without dragging the Novel down and making it depressing. I loved the

"God doesn't give anyone leprosy. He gives us, if we choose to use it, the spirit to live with leprosy, and with the imminence of death. Because it is in our own mortality that we are most divine." Anyone who knows my families health history will know why this book spoke to me. There's nothing like a heaping helping of illness to change ones perspective on life. Rachel is just seven years old when she is taken from her family and banished to the island Moloka'i having been found to have Leprosy.

Alan Brennert's Moloka'i is a beautifully written and moving tale of a young girl's interaction with a leprosy colony throughout her life time. The impacts on her life as she grows older are tremendous and she loses friends and family around her fighting her own battles to survive. The story and characters will tug at your heartstrings and push you into thinking more about your own life -- and the good you have in it. If you're able to hear someone else's plight to survive, and you can empathize

Moloka'i by Alan Brennert is a 2004 St. Martins Griffin publication. (I read the 2011 Kindle version.) I know what you're thinking. You havent read this book yet? Over the years, this book has been recommended to me on more than one occasion, but I just never felt an urgent pull towards it. So, here we are in 2019 and I am just now getting around to reading it. Although, to be honest, it was the invitation to read the follow up to this book, that gave me the added incentive to work this one into

It was everything Id hoped it would be and more. I read this a few months ago prior to reading Daughter of Molokai, which I also highly recommend.
