Nani, a shy girl from a remote Indian village, met the Hawai'ian king, David Kalakaua, on his grand progress by train across the United States in 1881, eventually returning with him to Honolulu. There, as his young ally and protégée, ever more assured and charming, she played an integral role in his attempt to revive the monarchy and spirit of his people and, eventually, witnessed the mysterious circumstances surrounding his downfall. Deeply engaging through its vivid portrayal of California and Hawai'i at the end of the nineteenth century, \u003ci\u003eBird of Another Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e is a masterful portrait of an era long past.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049489809648,"sku":"9780307388087","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780307388087_p0.jpg?v=1763672020","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780307388087","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
