Paradise Of The Pacific by Susanna Moore

Set in early 20th-century Hawaii, the novel traces the arrival of an outsider into the island’s tightly knit elite and the slow unravelling of domestic life against a backdrop of racial tension, colonial privilege, and hidden violence. As social expectations and private desires collide, long-buried secrets and resentments surface, forcing characters to confront the moral costs of belonging and the fragile illusions that sustain their lives.
