I definitely did not enjoy the story of the family interrelationships or their dialogues. It felt almost amateurish after the quality of the Pink Chimneys writings. I almost put the book down a third time when her log mentions Madras using his pocket knife on her laces. Or the whole hapa cloth family dynamic? Good historical fiction teaches us so much, and Bangor has such a rich history! Since Blythe stayed in the area, I would love to read of her life and those of her progeny as alluded to in the Epilogue. It would also be interesting to read about Naihe and his return to Hawaii.

The first 30 pages or so dragged, but after that I was engaged the whole way through. The various methods of narration 1st person in M's diary and third person narration for other parts , was a bit odd and felt inconsistent, but it is obvious that Hamlin did a great did of research for this novel.
I enjoyed it much more than her previous novel, Pink Chimneys. I look forward to reading more by Hamlin in the future, as I suspect she is refining her writing techniques as she ages.
