'The next time I went for air you were at the surface, sideways, prone and
ragdolling in the mouth of a shark. But the shark was holding you gently, do you
understand? It was holding you like you were made of glass, like you were its
child.'
In 1995 in Kailua-Kona, Hawai'i, seven-year-old Nainoa Flores is saved from
drowning by a shiver of sharks. His family, struggling to make ends meet amidst
the collapse of the sugar cane industry, hails his rescue as a sign of favour
from ancient Hawaiian gods. But as time passes, this hope gives way to economic
realities, forcing Nainoa and his siblings to seek salvation across the
continental United States, leaving behind home and family.
With stunning physical detail and a profound command of language, Washburn's
powerful debut examines what it means to be both of a place, and a stranger in
it.
