They Who Do Not Grieve
ByPublisher Description
Sia Figiel's powerful, poetic skills weave together the voices of three generations of women from two Samoan families. Their dream worlds and realities intermingle, just as the histories of each generation run through the next. At the center of the novel is the Samoan woman's tattoo, the malu , believed to be brought from Fiji by Siamese twins. The ghosts of the twins watch over the women whose lives are stained by an unfinished tattoo. The shame and grief of not completing the tattoo ceremony go hand in hand with the shame and grief of illicit love and broken promises.

“This book was a tough one. After the first book I considered to dnf, because I was so confused the whole time, but I wanted to pull through for the club and I'm glad that I did. The themes are pretty interesting and the writing style was beautiful, but very poetic and hard to follow. I think I missed a lot of the meaning. Neverthelessl I learned about Samoa through this story and I felt sad for the women.”Start a Book Club
