Description:
Jill Marie Landis captures the stunning landscape and fascinating culture of 19th-century Hawaii in this moving story of a white woman's forbidden love for the native man with whom she shares responsibility for her deceased husband's cattle ranch. The painful pasts of Elizabeth Bennett and Spence Laamea add convincing complexity to their evolving relationship, which Landis conveys with sensitivity and skill. The story is enhanced by a secondary romance between two Hawaiians, an ambitious dressmaker and her determined cowboy suitor; by Elizabeth's fierce love for her frail daughter Hadley; by Hadley's growing trust for Spence; and by a devastating hurricane that arrives without warning. There's a lot to admire here, and attentive readers will find Glass Beach both powerful and memorable.
