- Summary
- Mahealani Suzanne Wong, the heroine of Kathleen Tyau's novel, grows up during the decades following World War II, surrounded by aunties and uncles, abundant food and vivid talk.
- Set in and around a Honolulu that is gradually changing from pineapple fields and beaches to suburban sprawl, A Little Too Much Is Enough brings to life Hawaii's characteristic blend of foreign country, exotic landscape, and island ways with small-city America - and against its backdrop portrays the struggles of a young girl discovering herself amid a large and complicated family.
