"Narrators Waikamania Seve and Caleb Teaupa unfurl a blood- and brine-soaked epic set in and around the islands of long-ago Polynesia. The lilt of the performers’ Antipodean accents lends a strong sense of place to the novel." —The Wall Street Journal “(Narrator Waikamania) Seve's voice grows more dynamic as Korero grows into a heroine, while narrator Caleb Teaupa brings to life the wider world of Tongan society. Both performers beautifully convey the sounds of Pacific islands--from the trilling birds to the crashing waves."—Kirkus A historical epic about a girl from a remote Tongan island who becomes her people's queen. Talking corpses, poetic parrots, and a fan that wafts the breath of life—this is the world young Korero finds herself thrust into when a mysterious visitor lands on her island, a place so remote its inhabitants have forgotten the word for stranger. Her people are desperate and on the brink of starvation, and the wayward stranger offers them an impossible choice: they can remain in the only home they’ve ever known and await the uncertainty to come, or Korero can join him and venture into unfamiliar waters, guided by only the night sky and his assurance of a bountiful future in the Kingdom of Tonga. What Korero and her people don’t know is that the promised refuge is no utopia—instead, Tonga is an empire at war and on the verge of collapse, a place where brains are regularly liberated from skulls and souls get trapped in coconuts with some frequency. The perils of Tonga are compounded by a royal feud: loyalties are shifting, graves are being opened, and everyone lives in fear of a jellyfish tattoo. Here, survival can rest on a perfectly performed dance or the acceptance of a cup of kava. Together, the stranger and Korero embark upon an epic voyage—one that will deliver them either to salvation or to the depths of the Pacific. Evoking the grandeur of Wolf Hall and the splendor of Shogun, the Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist Adam Johnson conjures oral history, restores the natural world, and locates what’s best in humanity. Toweringly ambitious and breathtakingly immersive, The Wayfinder is an instant, timeless classic. A Macmillan Audio production from MCD Books. Electronic reproduction.
