Six stories set in the Hawaiian Islands. Percival Ford, a sanctimonious Honolulu magnate, is forced to face a secret of his father’s past; Koolau the leper defies soldiers sent to take him to Molokai; Chun Ah Chun rises from coolie to millionaire; and a cattle rancher in Kona discovers he has leprosy.

Some of London’s most humane short fiction, unsparing about race, power and disease in Hawaii. Download the free EPUB.
