A story from the Kingdom of Tonga. In Tonga, many special occasions are celebrated with a kaipola or feast. Amelia and her family prepare a large kaipola for her cousin's 21st birthday.
In this lively satire of contemporary South Pacific life, we meet a familiar cast of characters: multinational experts, religious fanatics, con men, "simple" villagers, corrupt politicians. In writing about this tiny world of flawed personalities, Hau‘ofa displays his wit and range of comic resource, amply exercising what one reviewer called his “gift of seeing absurdity clearly."
