Alibi Bookshop August Book Club: Sharks in the Time of Saviors by Kawai Strong Washburn

“In 1995 Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, on a rare family vacation, seven-year-old Nainoa Flores falls overboard a cruise ship into the Pacific Ocean. When a shiver of sharks appears in the water, everyone fears for the worst. But instead, Noa is gingerly delivered to his mother in the jaws of a shark, marking his story as the stuff of legends…”

Please join us Thursday, August 28th at 7pm for Alibi Bookshop’s August Book Club “Sharks in the Time of Saviors” by Kawai Strong Washburn!

“Sharks in the Time of Saviors is a groundbreaking debut novel that folds the legends of Hawaiian gods into an engrossing family saga; a story of exile and the pursuit of salvation from Kawai Strong Washburn.”

There is not enough room to list all the raves and accolades this book has received— everything from best book by New York Times and more, the PEN/Hemingway award, to praises from former presidents. It has been on my “to read” stack for a long time, and I’m looking forward to reading it and talking about it with you!

As always, books are available in the shop, or online and ebooks at bookshop.org/shop/alibibookshop and audio: libro.fm/alibibookshop

See you there!
