Description

The scene is set in this novel when Atherton and Jessica Scully, two of Honolulu’s elite, decide to invest in the Tropical Palace Hotel. Kimi Kai’Ika, from Nanakuli, Teri’i Fa’atua, from Tahiti, Ito Nimura, from Honolulu, and Felice Santos, from Waianae decide that the way to solve their financial problems is to become entertainers for the hotel. The result is a sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking story of young love, marital problems, and the changes brought to Hawaii in the 1930´s and 1940´s by Tourism and the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
