Hardback. Zustand: Good. WINNER OF THE 2020 PEN/HEMINGWAY AWARD FOR DEBUT NOVEL. One of Barack Obama's Favorite Books of 2020. A finalist for the 2020 PEN/Jean Stein Book Award. Named one of the Best Books of 2020 by the New York Times (#30), the Guardian, the Boston Globe, Oprah Magazine, Kirkus Reviews, BBC Culture, Good Housekeeping, LitHub, Spectrum Culture, Third Place Books, and Powell's Books. Sharks in the Time of Saviors is a groundbreaking debut novel that folds the legends of Hawaiian gods into an engrossing family saga; a story of exile and the pursuit of salvation from Kawai Strong Washburn. "Old myths clash with new realities, love is in a ride or die with grief, faith rubs hard against magic, and comic flips with tragic so much they meld into something new. All told with daredevil lyricism to burn. A ferocious debut." --MARLON JAMES, author of Black Leopard, Red Wolf "So good it hurts and hurts to where it heals. It is revelatory and unputdownable. Washburn is an extraordinarily brilliant new talent." --TOMMY ORANGE, author of There There Named one of the most anticipated novels for 2020 by the Guardian and Paste Magazine. One of Book Riot's Best Books to Give as Gifts in 2020. In 1995 Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, on a rare family vacation, seven-year-old Nainoa Flores falls overboard a cruise ship into the Pacific Ocean. When a shiver of sharks appears in the water, everyone fears for the worst. But instead, Noa is gingerly delivered to his mother in the jaws of a shark, marking his story as the stuff of legends. Nainoa's family, struggling amidst the collapse of the sugarcane industry, hails his rescue as a sign of favor from ancient Hawaiian gods--a belief that appears validated after he exhibits puzzling new abilities. But as time passes, this supposed divine favor begins to drive the family apart: Nainoa, working now as a paramedic on the streets of Portland, struggles to fathom the full measure of his expanding abilities; further north in Washington, his older brother Dean hurtles into the world of elite college athletics, obsessed with wealth and fame; while in California, risk-obsessed younger sister Kaui navigates an unforgiving academic workload in an attempt to forge her independence from the family's legacy. When supernatural events revisit the Flores family in Hawai'i--with tragic consequences--they are all forced to reckon with the bonds of family, the meaning of heritage, and the cost of survival.…

Zustand: Good. : En 1995, en Kailua-Kona, Hawái, durante unas vacaciones familiares, Nainoa Flores, de siete años, cae por la borda de un crucero en el Océano Pacífico. Cuando aparece un grupo de tiburones en el agua, todos temen lo peor. Pero en cambio, Noa es entregado gentilmente a su madre en las mandíbulas de un tiburón, marcando su historia como material de leyendas. La familia de Nainoa, que lucha en medio del colapso de la industria de la caña de azúcar, considera su rescate como una señal de favor de los antiguos dioses hawaianos, una creencia que parece validada después de que exhibe nuevas habilidades desconcertantes. Pero a medida que pasa el tiempo, este supuesto favor divino comienza a separar a la familia: Nainoa, que ahora trabaja como paramédico en las calles de Portland, lucha por comprender la magnitud total de sus crecientes habilidades; más al norte, en Washington, su hermano mayor, Dean, se lanza al mundo del atletismo universitario de élite, obsesionado con la riqueza y la fama; mientras que en California, su hermana menor, Kaui, obsesionada con el riesgo, navega por una implacable carga de trabajo académico en un intento de forjar su independencia del legado de la familia. Cuando eventos sobrenaturales vuelven a visitar a la familia Flores en Hawái, con consecuencias trágicas, todos se ven obligados a reflexionar sobre los lazos familiares, el significado de la herencia y el costo de la supervivencia.
