Very interesting fiction - gives one some insight into the everyday life of Tahitians in a humorous way. Written by a Tahitian woman.

Excellent story about relationships especially mother-daughter. Set in Tahiti and the cultural background and life in the South Pacific add a certain delightful feel to the story. I enjoyed this book very much and look forward to reading more about Materena Mahi and her family and culture. I highly recommend this book. A fast, entertaining read.

Very cool story about a woman in Tahiti. It's so true-to-life...I should know, because I lived in the South Pacific for three years, and the conversations and attitudes in this book are SO accurate!

A very summery kind of book - or maybe a book for the winter, when you WISH it was summer! Set in Tahiti, engaging characters and a glimpse into authentic native life. A book about women, mothers & daughters and friends, all in an island setting.

The author carries us to a place and culture where we want to linger. She creates an authentic voice in Materena and it is fun to get to know her and her Tahitian point of view.

An engaging and honest telling of the relationships between mother and daughter - and a glimpse into the unique culture of Tahiti, a melange of old-world wisdom and modern attitudes. You'll enjoy it!
