Аннотация
Quan en Nainoa Flores és petit, un tauró el salva de morir ofegat i el retorna sa i estalvi als seus pares, l'Augie i la Malia. Des de llavors, el noi adquirirà poders guaridors. Però aquest miracle capgirarà l'existència de tota la família, sobretot d'en Dean i la Kaui, que hauran d'aprendre a viure sota l'ombra del seu germà divinitzat. Strong Washburn ens delecta amb una història familiar plena d'elements màgics i alhora terriblement realista, una novel·la fascinant sobre la lluita davant de la incomoditat que provoca la sensació de fracàs i els sentiments d'enveja. Un retrat de Hawaii, la seva mitologia i uns personatges que ens commouen i ens acompanyen més enllà de l'última pàgina.

'The novel you never knew you were waiting for' Marlon James 'I didn't want it to end' Sarah Moss
In 1995 in Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i, seven-year-old Nainoa Flores is saved from drowning by a shiver of sharks. His family, struggling to make ends meet amidst the collapse of the sugar cane industry, hails his rescue as a sign of favour from ancient Hawaiian gods.
But as time passes, this hope gives way to economic realities, forcing Nainoa and his siblings to seek salvation across the continental United States, leaving behind home and family.
With a profound command of language, Washburn's powerful debut novel examines what it means to be both of a place, and a stranger in it.
