Opis

ACTS OF GOD WHILE ON VACATION was a National Semi-Finalist for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. It begins with a death threat received by a philandering general manager of a lavish Hawaii resort, jumps to an anthropologist researching headhunters in the jungles of Borneo, then to a demonic, scandal-mongering paparazzo in New York, and on to a gorgeous, party-loving English aristocrat in London. Alternately desperate and hilarious adventures draw them all to Waikiki, where their arrival coincides with an international conference on shamanism and a catastrophic, force-five hurricane.
"A rollicking page-turner ... This is Hawaii's best fiction book of 2011." - HONOLULU STAR-ADVERTISER
"The author's light-hearted tone makes the deep ideas a pleasure, while the inclusion of a diversity of belief systems makes this open-minded novel as entertaining as it is enlightening." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"A shamanically-skewed romp of brilliant insight and slapstick comedy" - HAWAII PUBLIC RADIO
"Laugh-out-loud funny, while also ringing true" - HONOLULU WEEKLY
"A comic novel with serious edges. Even more remarkable: It's one of the few fictions set in Hawaii that gets all the details right." - HONOLULU MAGAZINE
