Filled with love and food, this story of the Hawaiian Wong family is an exuberant banquet of characters and stories. "(A Little Too Much Is Enough) vividly recreates Honolulu after World War II. . . . When the author gets around to describing the brutal fields and cannaries where Mahi and her brother labor in the service of Hawaii's most famous fruit, it's a revelation. You'll never look at a can of pineapple in the same way again".--Deborah Stead, New York Times Book Review. A PNBA Best Book of the Year.Filled with love and food, this story of the Hawaiian Wong family is an exuberant banquet of characters and stories. Mahealani Wong was named for the full moon she was born under as her Chinese grandmother believed it would bring her good luck. She has a full helping of her fathers full Hawaiian lips and the rebellious heart of an American teenager. In this vibrant tale, Mahi tries to get more than the "little too much" that is enough for the loving and hard-to-let-go-of-one-another Wong family. |
