”In this epic, original novel in wich Hawaii's sweeping past springs to life, Kiana Davenport, author of the acclaimed Shark Dialogues, draws upon the remarkable stories of her people to create a passionate tale of love and survival. In spellbinding, sensual prose, Song of the Exile follows the fortunes of one resilient man searching for his soul mate after she is torn from his sid by the forces of war.
In the last, innocent days before Pearl Harbor, two people meet in Honolulu almost by chance: Key, a gifted jazz trumpeter native to the islands, and Sunny, a fiercely independent beauty of Hawaiian and Korean heritage. As their love grows, youth and ambition propel them out into a world that is spiraling into madness.
Keo´s music takes him from the back alleys of Honolulu to the hidden jazz clubs of New Orleans - and, ultimately, to the fevered decadence of pre-war Paris, where Sunny joins him, even as the Nazis prepare to march into there doomed city. Caught in the tides of history, the lovers flee separately to the seething chaos of Shanghai, where Sunny searches for the sister she has never known. Captured by the Japanese, Sunny descends into a place of unimagined horror and violation. Leo mounts a desperate campaign to find her - a heroic effort that becomes his destiny”.
