Sharks in the Time of Saviors

Kawai Strong Washburn's acclaimed debut novel, set in Hawai'i. In 1995, seven-year-old Nainoa Flores falls overboard from a cruise ship and is carried back to his mother in the jaws of a shark. In the years that follow he begins to show strange healing powers, and his struggling family hopes he will restore their fortunes. Told through the voices of Noa, his parents and his siblings, it is a lyrical, mythic and deeply human story about family, faith and belonging.
