About the Book

Una saga familiar con amores, enfrentamientos, luchas de poder, pasiones prohibidas, penalidades y dicha en la exótica y cambiante Hawái del siglo XIX.
Emily es una de las primeras mujeres blancas en pisar la isla grande del archipiélago de Pacífico envuelto en misterio que, hace unos años, descubrió el capitán Cook. La joven esposa del reverendo Stone siente que todo lo que ve hiere su sensibilidad: las humildes chozas a la sombra de las palmeras, la actitud desinhibida de las nativas, las abominables costumbres y los ritos paganos.
Con el paso de los meses, sin embargo, sus impresiones iniciales experimentan un vuelco gracias a la amistad que entabla con la sanadora Pua y con el capitán Mackenzie Farrow. El creciente deseo de mejorar la vida de los isleños sin condenar sus tradiciones y creencias a la desaparición convertirán a Emily en una mujer nueva. Su valentía y viaje emocional darán origen a una saga familiar estrechamente ligada a la vibrante historia de Hawái a lo largo del siglo XIX.
Una historia cautivadora sobre la vida sencilla de los
habitantes de una isla paradisíaca en tiempos convulsos.
La aventura personal de dos mujeres inolvidables que dejaron
atrás su vida y sus creencias para abrazar un futuro distinto.
Reseñas:
«Una lectura fascinante para las lectoras de novela histórica.»
Publishers Weekly
«Gracias a su cuidado por los detalles genuinos y a unos personajes memorables, Barbara Wood logra que las páginas de sus novelas cobre vida.»Booklist

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

I was born for adventure. I flout convention. I am a New Woman on a holy purpose. Newlywed Emily Stone and her husband, Isaac, are young missionaries who have traveled from New England to Honolulu to share the Gospel with the Hawaiian natives. Gentle, adventurous, well-bred, and beautiful, Emily soon finds herself struggling with intense homesickness but remains determined to share her faith . . . and ignore her growing feelings for handsome Captain MacKenzie Farrow.
Just as she begins to bond with the influential High Chiefess Pua and her daughter, Mahina, unexpected tragedy threatens to force her off the island. In a state of confusion, Emily makes a decision that could destroy everything she knows and loves including her own sanity.
Three decades later, Sister Theresa comes to the islands as a missionary nurse and becomes acquainted with Captain Farrow's charming son, a powerful man who is instrumental in Hawaii's alliance with America....
