Story4.5 out of 5 stars 181
Hi'i is proud to be a Naupaka, a family renowned for its contributions to hula and her hometown of Hilo, Hawaii, but there’s a lot she doesn’t understand. She’s never met her legendary grandmother and her mother has never revealed the identity of her father. Worse, unspoken divides within her tight-knit community have started to grow, creating fractures whose origins are somehow entangled with her own family history.

Clear-eyed passionate love letter to Hawai’i
Reviewed: 07-22-24
As the story unfurls across three generations of Hawaiian women, it leaves the reader agape at the injustice perpetuated against this island nation - but worst is how blood lineage requirements eats at families, communities and the idea of who belongs or not despite sharing the same passion and love for Hawaiian heritage and culture. I came away with new knowledge and a desire to learn more about Hawai’i no matter my Nordic roots. I loved how the story wove in the voices of the larger community, adding to the rich tapestry of the narrative. Above all I felt bound to the women whose fierceness and stubbornness both amused and exasperated me. It’s a great book. Very different and worthwhile.

- What We Owe Each Other
- A New Social Contract for a Better Society
- By: Minouche Shafik
- Narrated by: Minouche Shafik
Thoughtful and well argued ideas that could change how we engage in politics and each other
Reviewed: 07-07-24
Good ideas, succinctly argued with a good balance between new thinking and pragmatism. For a European the new social contract is a no-brainer, but implementing this approach in the current climate would require visionary leaders with long term faith in our collective futures. Really recommend this book.

Story5 out of 5 stars 50
In the late 20th century, fundamentalism has emerged as one of the most powerful forces at work in the world, contesting the dominance of modern secular values and threatening peace and harmony around the globe. Yet it remains incomprehensible to a large number of people. In The Battle for God, Karen Armstrong brilliantly and sympathetically shows us how and why fundamentalist groups came into existence and what they yearn to accomplish.

The most important book you haven’t read yet

- Narrated by: Lisa Armytage, Karen Armstrong
An education for the modern world
Reviewed: 10-03-23
I’m already a fan of Karen Armstrong’s work but I had missed this essential piece of reading. Like other reviewers I was stunned to realize that the book was published in paperback years ago because the material feels new and highly relevant for our understanding of the conservative (religious) movements across different faiths around the world today. It has given me new historical and necessary insights into different world views. I highly recommend this to a reader interested in having a better understanding of the world today.

Zhila-byla odna devochka, kotoraja pochemu-to ochen' ne ljubila hodit' prjamym i korotkim putem. Vsegda ona vybirala samuju dlinnuju i izvilistuju dorogu. A uzh esli mat' posylala ee kuda-nibud' s porucheniem, to zhdat' ee prihodilas' ochen' dolgo. Devochka chasami mogla brodit' po okrestnym lugam i lesam, sobirat' cvety i jagody i napevat' pesenki. A eshhe ona ljubila zagovarivat' s kazhdym, kto vstrechalsja ej na puti, dazhe sovsem s neznakomymi.
