January Book Discussion

Set in Hilo, on the BIg Island of Hawaii, Gail Tsukiyama’s most recent novel evokes a sense of place and time with remarkable accuracy.  The story focuses on the pursuit of love, family life, and vocational purposes, while also illuminating community dynamics and history. Thus, it offers an opportunity to reflect on how people encouraged, endured, and supported one another at a challenging moment both like and unlike our own. The characters and story are fictional but the social dynamics and volcanic eruptions are not.

The Color of Air was published in 2020.  It is Tsukiyama’s 8th novel. 

Readers will share in conversation about the book on Monday, January 25, at 7:00 pm via Zoom. Please let April Herron know, by emailing april@rhumc.org, if you want to receive the link.
