It's been a while since I read this book. Is this the one with that scene between the girl and a much older Palagi man? lol..

I've been to a couple of Sia Figiel's readings. As great as her writing is, it's a whole other experience to watch her deliver her stories live... makes me think that maybe all Samoan literature is meant to be performed.

Something about us being natural performers? :)

The stage play to this book was brilliant.... but definately not something I would take my parents to if you know what I mean.... lol.... surprisingly some very in your face scenes.....

Well worth seeing.... just like the book was well worth reading!

I liked this book but preferred her other book "Girl fromthe half-moon cirlce" (sorry title not quite right). I felt though that both books were written to be read... there were many incerpts that cried out to be performed and heard rather than merely read. I never saw the play but have heard that it was great.
