Jason Furman's Reviews > The House of Pride and Other Tales of Hawaii

A short collection of short stories set in Hawaii. The stories do a very strong job of setting the scene of a mixture of native Hawaiians, mixed ancestry people, people with leprosy, missionaries, millionaires, Chinese origin, surfers (!) and others. They're less good on character and even less good on plot. But nicely conveys the flavor of a particular slice of Hawaii and there horrors of the approach the leprosy at the time.
