Fiction. A bestseller in New Zealand and winner of the prestigious
Commonwealth Prize, Sia Figiel's debut marks the first time a novel
by a Samoan woman has been published in the United States. Figiel
uses the traditional Samoan storytelling form of su'ifefiloi to
talk back to Western anthropological studies on Samoan women and
culture. Told in a series of linked episodes, this powerful and
highly original narrative follows thirteen-year-old Alofa Filiga as
she navigates the mores and restrictions of her village and comes
to terms with her own search for identity. A story of Samoan
PUBERTY BLUES, in which Gauguin is dead but Elvis lives on -- Vogue
Australia. A storytelling triumph -- Elle Australia.
