Just as I suspected when I bought it in Kahului, this book is absolutely filthy. No joke.
In addition to the "romance" I had anticipated a bunch of anti-haole rhetoric and "evil-colonizers" perspective. Check!
What I didn't expect was the gore. Lots of accidental amputations, missing eyeballs, lepers, babies thrown off cliffs, laundry workers blinded by starch, etc.
Gotta hand it to the author, though: She doesn't let all the blood-and-guts, poverty, oppression, and disease get in the way of the smut.
