Charlotte's Reviews > The Colony: The Harrowing True Story Of The Exiles Of Molokai

An incredible book. I wish I could have read the book before we visited Kalawao in 1999. I would like to revisit again, now with a different and deeper understanding of the loneliness, pain and suffering that these people went through most of their lives. Children torn from their families, husbands and wife sent away, banished to this remote place, not knowing if they would ever see their loved ones again. Not knowing what was happening to them.
John Tayman has really done a fantastic job putting together this book from letters, notes and historical facts. It is indeed a must read.
