Sachie: A Daughter of Hawaii
Reflective of Hawaii’s vibrant postwar literary scene, Patsy Sumie Saiki’s writings express and examine the experience of being "local." Like the narratives of many of her contemporaries, her fiction often recreates a childhood idyll, preserving the memory of things as they once were. An acute observer of island people and their customs, her fiction and non-fiction portray everyday life in fresh and honest ways.
