Hawaii
Sweeping historical-fiction saga tracing Hawaii's story from its volcanic origins through Polynesian settlement, missionary arrival, and waves of immigration.
Michener's episodic saga follows the people who shaped the Hawaiian Islands — Polynesian seafarers, American missionaries, and Chinese and Japanese immigrants — from the islands' volcanic formation to the mid-20th century. First published in 1959, the same year Hawaii became the 50th state.
