I came across this author the other day when reading about her uncle, the famous Samoan writer Albert Wendt, & I thought some people might be interested in the tagged book (which I haven't read), described as “the first Zombie apocalypse story set in Samoa“.

ETA: I don't know the author: I just thought the book checked a few boxes for F&L & Halloween reads
When anyone asks me about Peru, I‘ll say that if I lived there I‘d weigh 500 pounds. The food is so good! My sister is currently there on vacation, and she texted me: You‘re not kidding about the food.
This beautiful corn, however, is not for eating but for dyeing alpaca wool!

pickI read this for #FoodandLit #Samoa @texreader @catsandbooks
It's a novelization of Robert Lewis Stevenson's life. I didn't really get a feel of Samoa from it, but I did enjoy the relationship between RLS and Fanny. They both were ill at certain times in their lives and the ways they took care of each other were touching.
Anyone read any really good Samoa books?
Well, Samoans don‘t sound very nice at all. The author doesn‘t have much nice to say about Tongans (from Tonga) or New Zealanders for that matter. #Samoa #foodandlit @Catsandbooks
Some rather alarming foot sole shapes in this epic poem that I've just picked up again.
