Synopsis
Hawaii by James Michener follows the story of the original Hawaiians who sailed to the islands from Bora Bora, early American missionaries and merchants, and the Chinese and Japanese immigrants who traveled to work and seek their fortunes in Hawaii. The story begins with the formation of the islands themselves and ends in the mid-1950s. Each section explores the experiences of different groups of arrivals.
