Shadows in the Water by Joan Awa Book PDF Summary
Transpiring in the late 1850's, Shadows in the Water illustrates the encounter between two worlds. From the deprived streets of England, Edmond leaves his home and joins a whaling expedition, which takes him oceans away to an island in the middle of the Pacific, called Guåhan. There, he marvels the cultural beauty practiced by Nena, a youthful native girl and daughter of a powerful chief. They are connected not by mere attraction or yearn for love, but rather are propelled to the curiosity and enigma of each other's differentiation. Join Edmond's exploration of the indigenous land and Nena's path from youth to warrior in this multi-viewpoint novel that takes historical fiction to a whole new level.
